Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 9999 ÷ 72 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 99 and divide by 72. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 72 = 72 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 99 - 72 = 27. The remainder 27 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 279 and divide by 72. We get 3 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 3 × 72 = 216 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 279 - 216 = 63. The remainder 63 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 639 and divide by 72. We get 8 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 8 × 72 = 576 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 639 - 576 = 63. The remainder 63 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 63 is smaller than the divisor 72, so the division is complete. The final answer is 138 with remainder 63.

Since 63 is less than 72, we cannot divide further. The final answer is 138 with remainder 63.

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.
