How to Solve Long Division with Remainders in Grade 5 Maths
FAQs on Long Division with Remainders – 2-Digit Divisors Practice for Class 5
1. What is long division with remainder?
Long division with remainder is a method of dividing numbers when the divisor does not go exactly into the dividend, leaving a number called the remainder.
- For Grade 5 Maths, this means dividing a 2- or 3-digit number by a 2-digit divisor and writing both the quotient and remainder as your final answer.
- It helps students practice calculation skills with remainders using clear, step-by-step processes.
2. How do you solve long division with 2-digit divisors?
To solve long division with 2-digit divisors, follow these steps:
- Divide the first part of the dividend by the divisor.
- Multiply the divisor by the result and subtract from the current number.
- Bring down the next digit and repeat the process.
- Your answer will be the quotient with any leftover amount as the remainder.
3. What are some tips for long division with remainders?
Some useful tips for long division with remainders in class 5 are:
- Always check if the divisor fits into the current number before bringing down the next digit.
- Practice writing each step and keep numbers lined up for accuracy.
- If a smaller number is left that can't be divided further, that's your remainder.
- Check your answer by multiplying the quotient and divisor, then adding the remainder.
4. How many steps in 2-digit divisor long division?
Long division with a 2-digit divisor usually involves these steps:
- Divide
- Multiply
- Subtract
- Bring down the next digit
- Repeat until all digits are used
