Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 54999 ÷ 19 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 54 and divide by 19. We get 2 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 2 × 19 = 38 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 54 - 38 = 16. The remainder 16 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 169 and divide by 19. We get 8 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 8 × 19 = 152 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 169 - 152 = 17. The remainder 17 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 179 and divide by 19. We get 9 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 9 × 19 = 171 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 179 - 171 = 8. The remainder 8 is carried to the next step.
Step 4:Take the number 89 and divide by 19. We get 4 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 4 × 19 = 76 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 89 - 76 = 13. The remainder 13 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 13 is smaller than the divisor 19, so the division is complete. The final answer is 2894 with remainder 13.

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.
