Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 991 ÷ 32 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 99 and divide by 32. We get 3 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 3 × 32 = 96 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 99 - 96 = 3. The remainder 3 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Number 31 is less than divisor 32, so we write 0 in the quotient and move to the next digit.
Final Step:The remainder 31 is smaller than the divisor 32, so the division is complete. The final answer is 30 with remainder 31.

Since 31 is less than 32, we cannot divide further. The final answer is 30 with remainder 31.

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.
