Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 172 ÷ 17 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 17 and divide by 17. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 17 = 17 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 17 - 17 = 0.
Step 2:Number 2 is less than divisor 17, so we write 0 in the quotient and move to the next digit.
Final Step:The remainder 2 is smaller than the divisor 17, so the division is complete. The final answer is 10 with remainder 2.

Final remainder: 2

Since 2 is less than 17, we cannot divide further. The final answer is 10 with remainder 2.

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.
