Divide 974 by 5

To solve this problem using long division, follow these steps:

• Step 1: Start with the first digit of the dividend.

The dividend is 974, and the divisor is 5.
Take the first digit of the dividend, which is 9. Divide 9 by 5 to get 1 because 5 goes into 9 once.

• Step 2: Subtract and bring down the next digit.

Multiply the divisor (5) by the quotient digit (1): $5 \times 1 = 5$.
Subtract this from 9 to get a remainder of 4: $9 - 5 = 4$.
Bring down the next digit from the dividend (7), making the new number 47.

• Step 3: Repeat the division process.

Now divide 47 by 5. 5 goes into 47 nine times, so the next digit of the quotient is 9.
Multiply the divisor (5) by this quotient digit (9): $5 \times 9 = 45$.
Subtract this from 47 to get a remainder of 2: $47 - 45 = 2$.
Bring down the final digit (4), making the new number 24.

• Step 4: Divide the last number.

Finally, divide 24 by 5. 5 goes into 24 four times. The last digit of the quotient is 4.
Multiply the divisor (5) by 4: $5 \times 4 = 20$.
Subtract this from 24 to get a final remainder of 4: $24 - 20 = 4$.

Thus, the result of 974 divided by 5 is a quotient of $194$ with a remainder of $4$.

The correct choice is therefore Choice 4: $194$ with a remainder of $4$.
