Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 5100 ÷ 300 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 510 and divide by 300. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 300 = 300 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 510 - 300 = 210. The remainder 210 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 2100 and divide by 300. We get 7 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 7 × 300 = 2100 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 2100 - 2100 = 0.
Final Step:The division is complete with no remainder. 5100 divides exactly by 300 to give 17.

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.
