Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 208896 ÷ 68 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 208 and divide by 68. We get 3 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 3 × 68 = 204 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 208 - 204 = 4. The remainder 4 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Number 48 is less than divisor 68, so we write 0 in the quotient and move to the next digit.
Step 3:Take the number 489 and divide by 68. We get 7 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 7 × 68 = 476 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 489 - 476 = 13. The remainder 13 is carried to the next step.
Step 4:Take the number 136 and divide by 68. We get 2 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 2 × 68 = 136 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 136 - 136 = 0.
Final Step:The division is complete with no remainder. 208896 divides exactly by 68 to give 3072.

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.
