Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 137,986 ÷ 283 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 1,379 and divide by 283. We get 4 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 4 × 283 = 1,132 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 1,379 - 1,132 = 247. The remainder 247 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 2,478 and divide by 283. We get 8 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 8 × 283 = 2,264 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 2,478 - 2,264 = 214. The remainder 214 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 2,146 and divide by 283. We get 7 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 7 × 283 = 1,981 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 2,146 - 1,981 = 165. The remainder 165 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 165 is smaller than the divisor 283, so the division is complete. The final answer is 487 with remainder 165.

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.
