Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 238 ÷ 17 using long division method step by step:

Step 1: Take the number 23 and divide by 17. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 17 = 17 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 23 - 17 = 6. The remainder 6 is carried to the next step.
Step 2: Take the number 68 and divide by 17. We get 4 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 4 × 17 = 68 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 68 - 68 = 0.
Final Step: The division is complete with no remainder. 238 divides exactly by 17 to give 14.

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.
