Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 87000 ÷ 5 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 8 and divide by 5. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 5 = 5 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 8 - 5 = 3. The remainder 3 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 37 and divide by 5. We get 7 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 7 × 5 = 35 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 37 - 35 = 2. The remainder 2 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 20 and divide by 5. We get 4 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 4 × 5 = 20 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 20 - 20 = 0.
Step 4:Number 0 is less than divisor 5, so we write 0 in the quotient and move to the next digit.
Step 5:Number 0 is less than divisor 5, so we write 0 in the quotient and move to the next digit.
Final Step:The division is complete with no remainder. 87000 divides exactly by 5 to give 17400.

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.
