Bleh
This is bad. There should be a calculator for quick check-if-I'm-right times. I dob't even understand the purpose of this.
To solve the division problem 5280 divided by 500, follow these steps:
Step 1: Write down the division problem: 5280 ÷ 500.
Step 2: Start dividing the leftmost digit of the dividend (5) by the divisor (500). Since 5 is less than 500, we move to the next digit.
Step 3: Bring down the next digit (2) and append it to the previous quotient (0). Now we have 52.
Step 4: Divide 52 by the divisor (500). Since 52 is smaller than 500, we move to the next digit.
Step 5: Bring down the next digit (8) and append it to the previous quotient (0). Now we have 528.
Step 6: Divide 528 by the divisor (500). This time, 528 is greater than 500.
Step 7: Determine how many times the divisor (500) can be subtracted from 528 without going below zero. In this case, it can be done once, which gives us a quotient of 1.
Step 8: Subtract the result of the previous step (500) from the dividend. 528 - 500 = 28.
Step 9: Bring down the next digit (0) and append it to the previous dividend (28). Now we have 280.
Step 10: Divide 280 by the divisor (500). Since 280 is smaller than 500, we move to the next digit.
Step 11: Bring down the next digit (0) and append it to the previous dividend (280). Now we have 2800.
Step 12: Divide 2800 by the divisor (500). This time, 2800 is greater than 500.
Step 13: Determine how many times the divisor (500) can be subtracted from 2800 without going below zero. In this case, it can be done five times, which gives us a quotient of 5.
Step 14: Subtract the result of the previous step (2500) from the dividend. 2800 - 2500 = 300.
Step 15: Bring down the next digit (0) and append it to the previous dividend (300). Now we have 3000.
Step 16: Divide 3000 by the divisor (500). This time, 3000 is greater than 500.
Step 17: Determine how many times the divisor (500) can be subtracted from 3000 without going below zero. In this case, it can be done six times, which gives us a quotient of 6.
Step 18: Subtract the result of the previous step (3000) from the dividend. 3000 - 3000 = 0.
Step 19: There are no more digits to bring down, and the remainder is zero. Therefore, the final quotient is 0.
Step 20: The answer to the division problem 5280 ÷ 500 is 10 with a remainder of 280, or simply 10.28 as a decimal.
