How to divide 50.001 by 15 using long division and find the remainder?

Answer: 50.001 ÷ 15 = 3 remainder 5001
50.001 ÷ 15 = 3 remainder 5001

Converting Decimals to Integers

First, we convert the numbers to integers by multiplying both dividend and divisor by 1000:

50.001 × 1000 = 50001(dividend)
15 × 1000 = 15000(divisor)

Now we can perform long division with these whole numbers:

Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 50.001 ÷ 15 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 50001 and divide by 15000. We get 3 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 3 × 15000 = 45000 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 50001 - 45000 = 5001. The remainder 5001 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 5001 is smaller than the divisor 15000, so the division is complete. The final answer is 3 with remainder 5001.

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.
