Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 589 ÷ 3 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 5 and divide by 3. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 3 = 3 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 5 - 3 = 2. The remainder 2 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 28 and divide by 3. We get 9 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 9 × 3 = 27 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 28 - 27 = 1. The remainder 1 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 19 and divide by 3. We get 6 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 6 × 3 = 18 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 19 - 18 = 1. The remainder 1 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 1 is smaller than the divisor 3, so the division is complete. The final answer is 196 with remainder 1.

1511 × 3 = 35 - 3 = 22
22899 × 3 = 2728 - 27 = 11
31966 × 3 = 1819 - 18 = 11

Final remainder: 1

Since 1 is less than 3, we cannot divide further. The final answer is 196 with remainder 1.

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.
