Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 179,000 ÷ 52 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 179 and divide by 52. We get 3 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 3 × 52 = 156 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 179 - 156 = 23. The remainder 23 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 230 and divide by 52. We get 4 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 4 × 52 = 208 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 230 - 208 = 22. The remainder 22 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 220 and divide by 52. We get 4 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 4 × 52 = 208 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 220 - 208 = 12. The remainder 12 is carried to the next step.
Step 4:Take the number 120 and divide by 52. We get 2 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 2 × 52 = 104 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 120 - 104 = 16. The remainder 16 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 16 is smaller than the divisor 52, so the division is complete. The final answer is 3,442 with remainder 16.

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.
