Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 5499999 ÷ 40 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 54 and divide by 40. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 40 = 40 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 54 - 40 = 14. The remainder 14 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 149 and divide by 40. We get 3 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 3 × 40 = 120 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 149 - 120 = 29. The remainder 29 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 299 and divide by 40. We get 7 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 7 × 40 = 280 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 299 - 280 = 19. The remainder 19 is carried to the next step.
Step 4:Take the number 199 and divide by 40. We get 4 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 4 × 40 = 160 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 199 - 160 = 39. The remainder 39 is carried to the next step.
Step 5:Take the number 399 and divide by 40. We get 9 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 9 × 40 = 360 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 399 - 360 = 39. The remainder 39 is carried to the next step.
Step 6:Take the number 399 and divide by 40. We get 9 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 9 × 40 = 360 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 399 - 360 = 39. The remainder 39 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 39 is smaller than the divisor 40, so the division is complete. The final answer is 137499 with remainder 39.

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.
