Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we will perform a long division of 52103 by 29 and determine both the quotient and the remainder.

Let's divide 52103 by 29 using long division:

  • First, see how many times 29 can go into the first few digits of 52103, starting from the left.
  • 29 into 52 goes 1 time. Multiply 29×1=29 29 \times 1 = 29 . Subtract 29 from 52, giving us 23.
  • Bring down the next digit forming 231.
  • 29 into 231 goes 7 times. Multiply 29×7=203 29 \times 7 = 203 . Subtract 203 from 231, giving us 28.
  • Bring down the next digit forming 280.
  • 29 into 280 goes 9 times. Multiply 29×9=261 29 \times 9 = 261 . Subtract 261 from 280, giving us 19.
  • Bring down the last digit forming 193.
  • 29 into 193 goes 6 times. Multiply 29×6=174 29 \times 6 = 174 . Subtract 174 from 193, giving us 19.

The quotient of the division of 52103 by 29 is 1796 with a remainder of 19, which matches choice 4.

Therefore, the correct answer is: 1796 1796 with a remainder of 19.

Final Answer

1796 1796 with a remainder of 19

Key Points to Remember

Essential concepts to master this topic
  • Process: Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down next digit, repeat
  • Technique: Start with 29 into 52 = 1 remainder 23
  • Check: Verify 1796×29+19=52103 1796 \times 29 + 19 = 52103

Common Mistakes

Avoid these frequent errors
  • Estimating how many times divisor goes into partial dividend
    Don't guess wildly how many times 29 goes into 231 = wrong quotient digits! Poor estimation leads to excessive corrections and confusion. Always use multiplication facts: try 7 since 29 × 7 = 203 is close to 231.

FAQ

Everything you need to know about this question

What if 29 doesn't go into the first digits evenly?

+

That's normal! Start with 52 ÷ 29 = 1 with remainder 23. The remainder becomes part of your next step when you bring down the next digit.

How do I know if 29 goes into 231 seven times or eight times?

+

Use multiplication: 29×7=203 29 \times 7 = 203 and 29×8=232 29 \times 8 = 232 . Since 232 > 231, use 7 times!

Why is there still a remainder at the end?

+

When the final remainder (19) is smaller than the divisor (29), you stop dividing. The remainder 19 means 52103 = 29 × 1796 + 19.

How can I check my long division answer?

+

Multiply your quotient by the divisor, then add the remainder: 1796×29+19 1796 \times 29 + 19 . If you get the original dividend (52103), you're correct!

What if I make an error in the middle steps?

+

Don't panic! Long division errors usually show up when your remainder becomes larger than the divisor. Go back and check your most recent multiplication and subtraction.
