Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 500000 ÷ 999 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 5000 and divide by 999. We get 5 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 5 × 999 = 4995 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 5000 - 4995 = 5. The remainder 5 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Number 50 is less than divisor 999, so we write 0 in the quotient and move to the next digit.
Step 3:Number 500 is less than divisor 999, so we write 0 in the quotient and move to the next digit.
Final Step:The remainder 500 is smaller than the divisor 999, so the division is complete. The final answer is 500 with remainder 500.

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.
