How to divide 61.12 by 3.2 using long division and find the remainder?

Answer: 61.12 ÷ 3.2 = 19 remainder 32
61.12 ÷ 3.2 = 19 remainder 32

Converting Decimals to Integers

First, we convert the numbers to integers by multiplying both dividend and divisor by 100:

61.12 × 100 = 6112(dividend)
3.2 × 100 = 320(divisor)

Now we can perform long division with these whole numbers:

Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 61.12 ÷ 3.2 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 611 and divide by 320. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 320 = 320 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 611 - 320 = 291. The remainder 291 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 2912 and divide by 320. We get 9 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 9 × 320 = 2880 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 2912 - 2880 = 32. The remainder 32 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 32 is smaller than the divisor 320, so the division is complete. The final answer is 19 with remainder 32.

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.
