To find the answer to 400 divided by 2, you need to divide the number 400 by the number 2.
To do this, you can either perform long division or use a calculator.
For long division:
1. Start by placing 400 as the dividend (the number being divided).
2. Write 2 as the divisor (the number you are dividing by) on the left side.
3. Divide the first digit of the dividend (4) by the divisor (2). The result is 2.
4. Multiply the divisor (2) by the quotient (2). The product is 4, which you write below the first two digits of the dividend.
5. Subtract the product (4) from the first two digits of the dividend (40). The result is 36.
6. Bring down the next digit of the dividend (0) next to the remainder (36), resulting in 360.
7. Divide 36 by the divisor (2). The result is 18.
8. Multiply the divisor (2) by the quotient (18). The product is 36, which you write below the previous remainder.
9. Subtract the product (36) from the remainder (36). The result is 0.
10. Since the remainder is zero, there are no more digits to bring down. The quotient is 218, which is the answer to 400 divided by 2.
Alternatively, if you use a calculator, simply enter 400 ÷ 2, and the answer will be displayed as 200.
