5449 ÷ 15 =__?
(I'm sorry to ask this but I'm really not that good at division, and the big numbers are really hard for me. I used a calculator but it gave me an ongoing number...can someone help me?)
Never mind I figured it out its 363
What number do you get?
Of course, I can help you with that! Division can sometimes be tricky, especially with larger numbers. Let me explain the process step by step so you can understand how to solve it on your own in the future.
To divide 5449 by 15, we can use long division. Here's how you can proceed:
1. Write down the dividend (5449) and the divisor (15) as shown:
__________
15 | 5449
2. Determine how many times the divisor (15) can be divided into the first digit of the dividend (5). In this case, 15 cannot be divided by 5 without any remainder, so we move to the next digit.
3. Bring down the second digit of the dividend (4) to create the partial dividend, which becomes 54. Now we have:
__________
15 | 5449
-
45
4. Determine how many times 15 can be divided into 54. In this case, 3 times:
__________
15 | 5449
- 45
-
45
45
_______
9
5. Subtract 45 from 54 to find the remainder, which is 9.
6. Bring down the next digit of the dividend (9) to create the new partial dividend, which becomes 99. Now we have:
__________
15 | 5449
- 45
-
459
- 45
-
54
54
________
99
7. Determine how many times 15 can be divided into 99. In this case, 6 times:
__________
15 | 5449
- 45
-
459
- 45
-
54
54
________
99
90
_______
9
8. Subtract (15 * 6 = 90) from 99 to find the remainder, which is 9.
9. Finally, we reach the end of the dividend. The quotient is the combination of the whole numbers obtained in each step, which in this case is 363:
__________
15 | 5449
- 45
-
459
- 45
-
54
54
________
99
90
_______
9
Therefore, 5449 ÷ 15 = 363.
Remember, practice makes perfect! The more you practice long division, the easier it will become.
