Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 8500 ÷ 500 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 850 and divide by 500. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 500 = 500 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 850 - 500 = 350. The remainder 350 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 3500 and divide by 500. We get 7 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 7 × 500 = 3500 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 3500 - 3500 = 0.
Final Step:The division is complete with no remainder. 8500 divides exactly by 500 to give 17.

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.
