Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 515 ÷ 5 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 5 and divide by 5. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 5 = 5 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 5 - 5 = 0.
Step 2:Number 1 is less than divisor 5, so we write 0 in the quotient and move to the next digit.
Step 3:Take the number 15 and divide by 5. We get 3 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 3 × 5 = 15 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 15 - 15 = 0.
Final Step:The division is complete with no remainder. 515 divides exactly by 5 to give 103.

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.
