Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 172,000 ÷ 52 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 172 and divide by 52. We get 3 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 3 × 52 = 156 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 172 - 156 = 16. The remainder 16 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 160 and divide by 52. We get 3 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 3 × 52 = 156 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 160 - 156 = 4. The remainder 4 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Number 40 is less than divisor 52, so we write 0 in the quotient and move to the next digit.
Step 4:Take the number 400 and divide by 52. We get 7 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 7 × 52 = 364 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 400 - 364 = 36. The remainder 36 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 36 is smaller than the divisor 52, so the division is complete. The final answer is 3,307 with remainder 36.

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.
