Question

Divide the following:

$550÷5$

Answer 1

Let us divide $550$ by $5$

Step 1 : Divide $5$ hundreds by $5$ i.e, $5÷5=1$

Write $1$ in the hundreds place of the quotient and write product $5$, below the dividend in the hundreds place. $5-5=0$

Step 2 : Bring down $5$

$5÷5=1$

Write $1$ in the tens place of the quotient and write product $5$, below the dividend in the tens place. $5-5=0$

Step 3 : Bring down $0$

$0÷5=0$

Write $0$ in the ones place of the quotient and write $0$ below the dividend in ones place. $0-0=0$

$$\begin{gathered} \text{H T O} \\ 110 \\ 5⟌550 \\ -5\downarrow \downarrow \\ 05\downarrow \\ -5\downarrow \\ 0\downarrow \\ 0 \\ -0 \\ 0 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the required quotient is $110$ and remainder is $0$
