Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 54999 ÷ 400 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 549 and divide by 400. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 400 = 400 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 549 - 400 = 149. The remainder 149 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 1499 and divide by 400. We get 3 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 3 × 400 = 1200 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 1499 - 1200 = 299. The remainder 299 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 2999 and divide by 400. We get 7 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 7 × 400 = 2800 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 2999 - 2800 = 199. The remainder 199 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 199 is smaller than the divisor 400, so the division is complete. The final answer is 137 with remainder 199.

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.
