Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 549999 ÷ 17 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 54 and divide by 17. We get 3 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 3 × 17 = 51 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 54 - 51 = 3. The remainder 3 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 39 and divide by 17. We get 2 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 2 × 17 = 34 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 39 - 34 = 5. The remainder 5 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 59 and divide by 17. We get 3 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 3 × 17 = 51 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 59 - 51 = 8. The remainder 8 is carried to the next step.
Step 4:Take the number 89 and divide by 17. We get 5 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 5 × 17 = 85 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 89 - 85 = 4. The remainder 4 is carried to the next step.
Step 5:Take the number 49 and divide by 17. We get 2 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 2 × 17 = 34 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 49 - 34 = 15. The remainder 15 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 15 is smaller than the divisor 17, so the division is complete. The final answer is 32352 with remainder 15.

15433 × 17 = 5154 - 51 = 33
23922 × 17 = 3439 - 34 = 55
35933 × 17 = 5159 - 51 = 88
48955 × 17 = 8589 - 85 = 44
54922 × 17 = 3449 - 34 = 1515

Final remainder: 15

Since 15 is less than 17, we cannot divide further. The final answer is 32352 with remainder 15.

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.
