<p>Anyone know how to make the long division symbol? (i.e. what I can use to write something like 20x^2 divided by 5x and have the 4x on the top) - I need to paste it into a word document. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>You can do it in LaTeX but I doubt you can insert long division symbols in MS Word. You could also simply use fractions, unless you’re demonstrating the actual division process.</p>

<p>@rspence - I’m trying to demonstrate polynomial long division and using the regular division symbol just makes the concept harder to grasp, so I really, really wanted to use the actual long division symbol if possible. Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try it. </p>
<p>@k4r3n2 - those are fractions, bro. NOT what I’m looking for, but thanks anyways. I’ve done my due diligence on google, but have only found that I should use the MS equation function, but this doesn’t have long division.</p>
<p>If you plan on using it frequently (i.e. your a teacher) you can buy mathtype for around $50-60.</p>
<p>On my Mac running Microsoft Word, Alt+/ does it: ÷</p>
<p>@Techtool, I have MS Word 2007 and Insert–>Equation–>÷ does it quite fine. But strawberries21 is looking for long division symbol, i.e. </p>

<p>LaTeX is tricky if you’ve never used it before. You can also use MathType, as cc123sb said (there’s a free 30-day trial).</p>

<p>Sorry bro: [Let</a> me google that for you](<a href=“http://■■■■■■/Kzr2sT]Let”>LMGTFY - Let Me Google That For You)</p>
<p>try the first link</p>
<p>Thanks everybody; got what I needed! And k4r3n2 if you go to MIT, we should be friends.</p>
