Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 400 ÷ 20 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 40 and divide by 20. We get 2 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 2 × 20 = 40 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 40 - 40 = 0.
Step 2:Number 0 is less than divisor 20, so we write 0 in the quotient and move to the next digit.
Final Step:The division is complete with no remainder. 400 divides exactly by 20 to give 20.

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.
