Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 999999 ÷ 17 using long division method step by step:

Step 1: Take the number 99 and divide by 17. We get 5 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 5 × 17 = 85 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 99 - 85 = 14. The remainder 14 is carried to the next step.
Step 2: Take the number 149 and divide by 17. We get 8 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 8 × 17 = 136 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 149 - 136 = 13. The remainder 13 is carried to the next step.
Step 3: Take the number 139 and divide by 17. We get 8 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 8 × 17 = 136 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 139 - 136 = 3. The remainder 3 is carried to the next step.
Step 4: Take the number 39 and divide by 17. We get 2 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 2 × 17 = 34 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 39 - 34 = 5. The remainder 5 is carried to the next step.
Step 5: Take the number 59 and divide by 17. We get 3 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 3 × 17 = 51 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 59 - 51 = 8. The remainder 8 is carried to the next step.
Final Step: The remainder 8 is smaller than the divisor 17, so the division is complete. The final answer is 58823 with remainder 8.

Division Steps

Step Dividend Part Quotient Digit Multiply Subtract Remainder
1 99 5 5 × 17 = 85 99 - 85 = 14 14
2 149 8 8 × 17 = 136 149 - 136 = 13 13
3 139 8 8 × 17 = 136 139 - 136 = 3 3
4 39 2 2 × 17 = 34 39 - 34 = 5 5
5 59 3 3 × 17 = 51 59 - 51 = 8 8

Final remainder: 8

Since 8 is less than 17, we cannot divide further. The final answer is 58823 with remainder 8.

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.
