Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 54999 ÷ 72 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 549 and divide by 72. We get 7 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 7 × 72 = 504 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 549 - 504 = 45. The remainder 45 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 459 and divide by 72. We get 6 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 6 × 72 = 432 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 459 - 432 = 27. The remainder 27 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 279 and divide by 72. We get 3 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 3 × 72 = 216 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 279 - 216 = 63. The remainder 63 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 63 is smaller than the divisor 72, so the division is complete. The final answer is 763 with remainder 63.

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.
