Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 15,120 ÷ 36 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 151 and divide by 36. We get 4 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 4 × 36 = 144 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 151 - 144 = 7. The remainder 7 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 72 and divide by 36. We get 2 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 2 × 36 = 72 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 72 - 72 = 0.
Step 3:Number 0 is less than divisor 36, so we write 0 in the quotient and move to the next digit.
Final Step:The division is complete with no remainder. 15,120 divides exactly by 36 to give 420.

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.
