Steps to Solve
- Set up the division We need to divide 155 by 5. This is written as:
$$ 155 \div 5 $$
- Perform the division To perform the division, ask how many times 5 goes into 155.
5 goes into 15 three times (because $5 \times 3 = 15$). So we write down 3, and we have:
$$ 5 \times 3 = 15 $$
- Subtract and bring down After subtracting, we have:
$$ 15 - 15 = 0 $$
Now we bring down the next digit, which is 5, making it 05.
- Finish the division Now, we see how many times 5 goes into 5.
It goes 1 time:
$$ 5 \times 1 = 5 $$
- Final subtraction When we subtract, we have:
$$ 5 - 5 = 0 $$
So, the result of the entire operation is:
$$ 155 \div 5 = 31 $$
The final answer is
$$ 31 $$
