Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Solve

00:03 Let's start by dividing the leftmost digit by the divisor

00:09 5 is greater than 1, so we'll add the next digit and then divide

00:20 Write the result without remainder above, pay attention to the position

00:24 Now multiply the result by the divisor

00:28 Subtract the product from the number

00:36 Now bring down the next digit below and use the same steps

00:41 Divide

00:46 Write the result above

00:50 Multiply the result, subtract

01:00 Now bring down the next digit below and use the same steps

01:04 Divide

01:08 Write the result above

01:11 Multiply the result, subtract

01:18 We got a remainder of 0

01:21 And this is the solution to the problem

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the division problem $1250 \div 5$ , we will use long division.

Step 1: Identify the first part of the dividend (1250) that is divisible by 5. We start with the first digit, which is 1. Since 1 is less than 5, we consider the first two digits, 12.
Step 2: Determine how many times 5 fits into 12. It fits 2 times since $5 \times 2 = 10$ . Write 2 above the long division bar.
Step 3: Subtract 10 from 12, leaving a remainder of 2. Bring down the next digit, 5, making it 25.
Step 4: Determine how many times 5 goes into 25. It fits exactly 5 times since $5 \times 5 = 25$ . Write 5 above the bar, next to 2.
Step 5: Subtract 25 from 25, leaving a remainder of 0. Bring down the last digit, 0, making it 00.
Step 6: Since 5 goes into 0 exactly 0 times, write 0 above the division bar as the last digit of the quotient.

After completing the division, the result above the division bar shows the quotient: $250$ .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $250$ .
