Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
The first step is to set up our division problem with the divisor on the left side and the dividend on the right side, like we have it below:
5 5 2
Step 2
We can work out that the divisor (5) goes into the first digit of the dividend (5), 1 time(s). Now we know that, we can put 1 at the top:
1
5 5 2
Step 3
If we multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (5 x 1 = 5), we can now add that answer below the dividend:
1
5 5 2
5
Step 4
Next, we will subtract the result from the previous step from the second digit of the dividend (5 - 5 = 0) and write that answer below:
1
5 5 2
- 5
0
Step 5
Move the second digit of the dividend (2) down like so:
1
5 5 2
- 5
2
Step 6
The divisor (5) goes into the bottom number (2), 0 time(s), so we can put 0 on top:
1 0
5 5 2
- 5
2
Step 7
If we multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (5 x 0 = 0), we can now add that answer below the dividend:
1 0
5 5 2
- 5
2
0
Step 8
Next, we will subtract the result from the previous step from the third digit of the dividend (2 - 0 = 2) and write that answer below:
