Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 78,000 ÷ 52 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 78 and divide by 52. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 52 = 52 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 78 - 52 = 26. The remainder 26 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 260 and divide by 52. We get 5 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 5 × 52 = 260 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 260 - 260 = 0.
Step 3:Number 0 is less than divisor 52, so we write 0 in the quotient and move to the next digit.
Step 4:Number 0 is less than divisor 52, so we write 0 in the quotient and move to the next digit.
Final Step:The division is complete with no remainder. 78,000 divides exactly by 52 to give 1,500.

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.
