Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 99998 ÷ 125 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 999 and divide by 125. We get 7 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 7 × 125 = 875 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 999 - 875 = 124. The remainder 124 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 1249 and divide by 125. We get 9 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 9 × 125 = 1125 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 1249 - 1125 = 124. The remainder 124 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 1248 and divide by 125. We get 9 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 9 × 125 = 1125 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 1248 - 1125 = 123. The remainder 123 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 123 is smaller than the divisor 125, so the division is complete. The final answer is 799 with remainder 123.

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.
