Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 76 ÷ 20 using long division method step by step:

Step 1: Take the number 76 and divide by 20. We get 3 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 3 × 20 = 60 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 76 - 60 = 16. The remainder 16 is carried to the next step.
Final Step: The remainder 16 is smaller than the divisor 20, so the division is complete. The final answer is 3 with remainder 16.

Final remainder: 16

Since 16 is less than 20, we cannot divide further. The final answer is 3 with remainder 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.
