Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 549999 ÷ 500 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 549 and divide by 500. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 500 = 500 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 549 - 500 = 49. The remainder 49 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Number 499 is less than divisor 500, so we write 0 in the quotient and move to the next digit.
Step 3:Take the number 4999 and divide by 500. We get 9 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 9 × 500 = 4500 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 4999 - 4500 = 499. The remainder 499 is carried to the next step.
Step 4:Take the number 4999 and divide by 500. We get 9 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 9 × 500 = 4500 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 4999 - 4500 = 499. The remainder 499 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 499 is smaller than the divisor 500, so the division is complete. The final answer is 1099 with remainder 499.

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.
