Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 840 ÷ 70 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 84 and divide by 70. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 70 = 70 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 84 - 70 = 14. The remainder 14 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 140 and divide by 70. We get 2 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 2 × 70 = 140 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 140 - 140 = 0.
Final Step:The division is complete with no remainder. 840 divides exactly by 70 to give 12.

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.
