Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 85,000 ÷ 4 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 8 and divide by 4. We get 2 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 2 × 4 = 8 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 8 - 8 = 0.
Step 2:Take the number 5 and divide by 4. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 4 = 4 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 5 - 4 = 1. The remainder 1 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 10 and divide by 4. We get 2 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 2 × 4 = 8 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 10 - 8 = 2. The remainder 2 is carried to the next step.
Step 4:Take the number 20 and divide by 4. We get 5 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 5 × 4 = 20 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 20 - 20 = 0.
Step 5:Number 0 is less than divisor 4, so we write 0 in the quotient and move to the next digit.
Final Step:The division is complete with no remainder. 85,000 divides exactly by 4 to give 21,250.

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.
