How to divide 500.25 by 5 using long division and find the remainder?

Answer: 500.25 ÷ 5 = 100 remainder 25
500.25 ÷ 5 = 100 remainder 25

Converting Decimals to Integers

First, we convert the numbers to integers by multiplying both dividend and divisor by 100:

500.25 × 100 = 50025(dividend)
5 × 100 = 500(divisor)

Now we can perform long division with these whole numbers:

Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 500.25 ÷ 5 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 500 and divide by 500. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 500 = 500 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 500 - 500 = 0.
Step 2:Number 2 is less than divisor 500, so we write 0 in the quotient and move to the next digit.
Step 3:Number 25 is less than divisor 500, so we write 0 in the quotient and move to the next digit.
Final Step:The remainder 25 is smaller than the divisor 500, so the division is complete. The final answer is 100 with remainder 25.

Final remainder: 25

Since 25 is less than 500, we cannot divide further. The final answer is 100 with remainder 25.

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.
