Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 789 ÷ 2 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 7 and divide by 2. We get 3 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 3 × 2 = 6 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 7 - 6 = 1. The remainder 1 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 18 and divide by 2. We get 9 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 9 × 2 = 18 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 18 - 18 = 0.
Step 3:Take the number 9 and divide by 2. We get 4 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 4 × 2 = 8 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 9 - 8 = 1. The remainder 1 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 1 is smaller than the divisor 2, so the division is complete. The final answer is 394 with remainder 1.

1733 × 2 = 67 - 6 = 11
21899 × 2 = 1818 - 18 = 00
3944 × 2 = 89 - 8 = 11

Final remainder: 1

Since 1 is less than 2, we cannot divide further. The final answer is 394 with remainder 1.

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.
