Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 72,000 ÷ 52 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 72 and divide by 52. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 52 = 52 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 72 - 52 = 20. The remainder 20 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 200 and divide by 52. We get 3 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 3 × 52 = 156 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 200 - 156 = 44. The remainder 44 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 440 and divide by 52. We get 8 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 8 × 52 = 416 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 440 - 416 = 24. The remainder 24 is carried to the next step.
Step 4:Take the number 240 and divide by 52. We get 4 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 4 × 52 = 208 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 240 - 208 = 32. The remainder 32 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 32 is smaller than the divisor 52, so the division is complete. The final answer is 1,384 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.
