Hint: Here we are asked to divide sixty-four by four using the long division method. For that, we first need to find a multiple of four (since the divisor here is four) so that we get a product nearest or equal to sixty-four. Then we will subtract the dividend and the product we found for the remainder. This process is repeated till we get the remainder as zero. Then the quotient (multiple we found) will be the answer.

Complete answer:
We aim to divide the given number that is sixty-four by four using the long division method.
First, we need to place the divisor and the dividend in the right place to get started. That is like the below form
4)164164
Now we have to group the digit in the dividend. since six is greater than the divisor we will take the first digit alone for the next step.
Then, we need to go through four tables that are multiples of four. As we can see that we get the product as four for one-times in four tables. That is 4×1=4 because this is the product that is nearest to six. So, we get
4)1644 1644 1
Now we have to subtract four from the dividend.
4)1644 21644 21
Now our new dividend is two. Since two is smaller than our divisor four we need to bring down the next digit from the old dividend that is four. So, we get
4)1644 241644 241
Now the dividend has become twenty-four. Let us again find the multiple of four which is nearest of equal to twenty-four. We have that, six times four is twenty-four that is 4×6=24 . So, we get
4)1644 24241644 242416
Now on subtracting that we get
4)1644 2424 01644 2424 016
We have got the remainder as zero so we will stop here.
Thus, sixty-four divided by four we get sixteen. That is 64÷4=6 .

Note:
Let a and b are any number and if a÷b then a is said to be a dividend and b is said to be the divisor. And in the long division method and the number we put on the top (that is 16) is called the quotient and that will be the answer for a÷b . We have to give more attention to finding the multiple of the divisor we must only take the value only if it is nearest or equal to the divided.
