Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 87,654 ÷ 27 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 87 and divide by 27. We get 3 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 3 × 27 = 81 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 87 - 81 = 6. The remainder 6 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 66 and divide by 27. We get 2 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 2 × 27 = 54 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 66 - 54 = 12. The remainder 12 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 125 and divide by 27. We get 4 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 4 × 27 = 108 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 125 - 108 = 17. The remainder 17 is carried to the next step.
Step 4:Take the number 174 and divide by 27. We get 6 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 6 × 27 = 162 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 174 - 162 = 12. The remainder 12 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 12 is smaller than the divisor 27, so the division is complete. The final answer is 3,246 with remainder 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.
