Answer for screen readers
The final answer is ( 93 ).
Steps to Solve
- Set up the division We will divide 465 by 5. This can be written as:
$$ 465 \div 5 $$
- Perform the division We need to see how many times 5 goes into 465. Starting from the left, look at the first digit (4).
Since 5 cannot go into 4, we move to the next digit to look at 46.
5 goes into 46, so:
$$ 46 \div 5 = 9 $$
because ( 5 \times 9 = 45 ).
- Subtract and bring down the next digit Now, we subtract 45 from 46:
$$ 46 - 45 = 1 $$
Now we bring down the next digit, which is 5, making it 15.
- Divide again Next, we see how many times 5 goes into 15:
$$ 15 \div 5 = 3 $$
because ( 5 \times 3 = 15 ).
- Combine results Now we can combine the two parts of our result. We had 9 from the first part and 3 from the second part, so the final answer will be:
$$ 9 \times 10 + 3 = 93 $$
Thus,
$$ 465 \div 5 = 93 $$
The final answer is ( 93 ).
More Information
Dividing by 5 can often be simplified because 5 is half of 10, meaning dividing by 5 is the same as multiplying by 0.2. Understanding this can make mental calculations quicker!
Tips
- A common mistake is miscounting how many times 5 fits in 46 or 15. To avoid this, it helps to quickly multiply back to check your division.
- Another mistake is forgetting to bring down the next digit after finishing with the first set.
