Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 6400 ÷ 400 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 640 and divide by 400. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 400 = 400 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 640 - 400 = 240. The remainder 240 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 2400 and divide by 400. We get 6 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 6 × 400 = 2400 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 2400 - 2400 = 0.
Final Step:The division is complete with no remainder. 6400 divides exactly by 400 to give 16.

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.
