Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 999 ÷ 50 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 99 and divide by 50. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 50 = 50 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 99 - 50 = 49. The remainder 49 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 499 and divide by 50. We get 9 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 9 × 50 = 450 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 499 - 450 = 49. The remainder 49 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 49 is smaller than the divisor 50, so the division is complete. The final answer is 19 with remainder 49.

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.
