Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 999961 ÷ 60 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 99 and divide by 60. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 60 = 60 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 99 - 60 = 39. The remainder 39 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 399 and divide by 60. We get 6 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 6 × 60 = 360 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 399 - 360 = 39. The remainder 39 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 399 and divide by 60. We get 6 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 6 × 60 = 360 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 399 - 360 = 39. The remainder 39 is carried to the next step.
Step 4:Take the number 396 and divide by 60. We get 6 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 6 × 60 = 360 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 396 - 360 = 36. The remainder 36 is carried to the next step.
Step 5:Take the number 361 and divide by 60. We get 6 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 6 × 60 = 360 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 361 - 360 = 1. The remainder 1 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 1 is smaller than the divisor 60, so the division is complete. The final answer is 16666 with remainder 1.

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.
