Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 98999 ÷ 1500 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 9899 and divide by 1500. We get 6 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 6 × 1500 = 9000 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 9899 - 9000 = 899. The remainder 899 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 8999 and divide by 1500. We get 5 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 5 × 1500 = 7500 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 8999 - 7500 = 1499. The remainder 1499 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 1499 is smaller than the divisor 1500, so the division is complete. The final answer is 65 with remainder 1499.

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.
