Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 989 ÷ 15 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 98 and divide by 15. We get 6 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 6 × 15 = 90 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 98 - 90 = 8. The remainder 8 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 89 and divide by 15. We get 5 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 5 × 15 = 75 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 89 - 75 = 14. The remainder 14 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 14 is smaller than the divisor 15, so the division is complete. The final answer is 65 with remainder 14.

Since 14 is less than 15, we cannot divide further. The final answer is 65 with remainder 14.

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.
