Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 5499 ÷ 100 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 549 and divide by 100. We get 5 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 5 × 100 = 500 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 549 - 500 = 49. The remainder 49 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 499 and divide by 100. We get 4 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 4 × 100 = 400 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 499 - 400 = 99. The remainder 99 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 99 is smaller than the divisor 100, so the division is complete. The final answer is 54 with remainder 99.

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.
