Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 99998 ÷ 400 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 999 and divide by 400. We get 2 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 2 × 400 = 800 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 999 - 800 = 199. The remainder 199 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 1999 and divide by 400. We get 4 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 4 × 400 = 1600 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 1999 - 1600 = 399. The remainder 399 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 3998 and divide by 400. We get 9 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 9 × 400 = 3600 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 3998 - 3600 = 398. The remainder 398 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 398 is smaller than the divisor 400, so the division is complete. The final answer is 249 with remainder 398.

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.
