Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 549999 ÷ 32 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 54 and divide by 32. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 32 = 32 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 54 - 32 = 22. The remainder 22 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 229 and divide by 32. We get 7 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 7 × 32 = 224 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 229 - 224 = 5. The remainder 5 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 59 and divide by 32. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 32 = 32 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 59 - 32 = 27. The remainder 27 is carried to the next step.
Step 4:Take the number 279 and divide by 32. We get 8 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 8 × 32 = 256 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 279 - 256 = 23. The remainder 23 is carried to the next step.
Step 5:Take the number 239 and divide by 32. We get 7 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 7 × 32 = 224 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 239 - 224 = 15. The remainder 15 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 15 is smaller than the divisor 32, so the division is complete. The final answer is 17187 with remainder 15.

523977 × 32 = 224239 - 224 = 1515

Final remainder: 15

Since 15 is less than 32, we cannot divide further. The final answer is 17187 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.
