Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 100000 ÷ 17 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 100 and divide by 17. We get 5 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 5 × 17 = 85 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 100 - 85 = 15. The remainder 15 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 150 and divide by 17. We get 8 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 8 × 17 = 136 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 150 - 136 = 14. The remainder 14 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 140 and divide by 17. We get 8 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 8 × 17 = 136 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 140 - 136 = 4. The remainder 4 is carried to the next step.
Step 4:Take the number 40 and divide by 17. We get 2 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 2 × 17 = 34 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 40 - 34 = 6. The remainder 6 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 6 is smaller than the divisor 17, so the division is complete. The final answer is 5882 with remainder 6.

About Long Division

Long division is a method for dividing large numbers that breaks down the division process into smaller, manageable steps. It's taught in elementary school as a systematic way to perform division by hand.

The process involves:

  • Dividing the leftmost digits of the dividend by the divisor
  • Writing the quotient digit above the dividend
  • Multiplying the quotient digit by the divisor
  • Subtracting this product from the current dividend portion
  • Bringing down the next digit and repeating the process

This method ensures accuracy and helps students understand the relationship between multiplication and division.
