Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 54999 ÷ 70 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 549 and divide by 70. We get 7 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 7 × 70 = 490 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 549 - 490 = 59. The remainder 59 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 599 and divide by 70. We get 8 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 8 × 70 = 560 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 599 - 560 = 39. The remainder 39 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 399 and divide by 70. We get 5 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 5 × 70 = 350 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 399 - 350 = 49. The remainder 49 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 49 is smaller than the divisor 70, so the division is complete. The final answer is 785 with remainder 49.

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.
