Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 226 ÷ 3 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 22 and divide by 3. We get 7 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 7 × 3 = 21 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 22 - 21 = 1. The remainder 1 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 16 and divide by 3. We get 5 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 5 × 3 = 15 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 16 - 15 = 1. The remainder 1 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 1 is smaller than the divisor 3, so the division is complete. The final answer is 75 with remainder 1.

Since 1 is less than 3, we cannot divide further. The final answer is 75 with remainder 1.

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.
