Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 500 ÷ 7 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 50 and divide by 7. We get 7 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 7 × 7 = 49 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 50 - 49 = 1. The remainder 1 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 10 and divide by 7. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 7 = 7 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 10 - 7 = 3. The remainder 3 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 3 is smaller than the divisor 7, so the division is complete. The final answer is 71 with remainder 3.

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.
