1. **State the problem:** Divide 1068 by 3 using long division. 2. **Formula and rules:** Division is splitting a number into equal parts. Here, we want to find how many times 3 fits into 1068. 3. **Step-by-step long division:** - Divide the first digit: 3 into 1 goes 0 times, so consider first two digits 10. - 3 into 10 goes 3 times because $3 \times 3 = 9$. - Subtract: $10 - 9 = 1$. - Bring down the next digit 6, making 16. - 3 into 16 goes 5 times because $3 \times 5 = 15$. - Subtract: $16 - 15 = 1$. - Bring down the last digit 8, making 18. - 3 into 18 goes 6 times because $3 \times 6 = 18$. - Subtract: $18 - 18 = 0$. 4. **Combine the quotient digits:** The quotient is 356 with no remainder. 5. **Final answer:** $$1068 \div 3 = 356$$
