Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 999999 ÷ 7 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 9 and divide by 7. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 7 = 7 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 9 - 7 = 2. The remainder 2 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 29 and divide by 7. We get 4 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 4 × 7 = 28 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 29 - 28 = 1. The remainder 1 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 19 and divide by 7. We get 2 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 2 × 7 = 14 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 19 - 14 = 5. The remainder 5 is carried to the next step.
Step 4:Take the number 59 and divide by 7. We get 8 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 8 × 7 = 56 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 59 - 56 = 3. The remainder 3 is carried to the next step.
Step 5:Take the number 39 and divide by 7. We get 5 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 5 × 7 = 35 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 39 - 35 = 4. The remainder 4 is carried to the next step.
Step 6:Take the number 49 and divide by 7. We get 7 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 7 × 7 = 49 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 49 - 49 = 0.
Final Step:The division is complete with no remainder. 999999 divides exactly by 7 to give 142857.

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.
