How to divide 500.25 by 8 using long division and find the remainder?

Answer: 500.25 ÷ 8 = 62 remainder 425
500.25 ÷ 8 = 62 remainder 425

Converting Decimals to Integers

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

500.25 × 100 = 50025(dividend)
8 × 100 = 800(divisor)

Now we can perform long division with these whole numbers:

Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 500.25 ÷ 8 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 5002 and divide by 800. We get 6 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 6 × 800 = 4800 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 5002 - 4800 = 202. The remainder 202 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 2025 and divide by 800. We get 2 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 2 × 800 = 1600 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 2025 - 1600 = 425. The remainder 425 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 425 is smaller than the divisor 800, so the division is complete. The final answer is 62 with remainder 425.

Since 425 is less than 800, we cannot divide further. The final answer is 62 with remainder 425.

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.
