Steps to Solve

  1. Set up the division We need to divide 155 by 5. This is written as:

$$ 155 \div 5 $$

  1. 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:

$$ 5 \times 3 = 15 $$

  1. Subtract and bring down After subtracting, we have:

$$ 15 - 15 = 0 $$

Now we bring down the next digit, which is 5, making it 05.

  1. Finish the division Now, we see how many times 5 goes into 5.

It goes 1 time:

$$ 5 \times 1 = 5 $$

  1. 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

$$ 31 $$
