Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Square Root by Long Division Method - Examples, FAQs
Let’s solve this step by step.

We are dividing 145 by 7.

Step 1: Look at the first digit of 145, which is 1. But 1 is less than 7, so we take the first two digits: 14.

Step 2: How many times does 7 go into 14?
7 × 2 = 14 → exactly! So we write 2 above the 4 in 145.
But wait — looking at the image, it shows 75 as the quotient. That suggests we’re doing long division with 145 ÷ 7, and the answer is 20 with remainder 5? Let me check.

Wait — actually, let’s do it properly:

Divide 145 by 7.

- 7 goes into 14 (the first two digits) 2 times → 2 × 7 = 14 → subtract → 0.
- Bring down the next digit: 5 → now we have 5.
- 7 goes into 5 zero times → so we write 0 after the 2 → quotient is 20.
- Remainder is 5.

So 145 ÷ 7 = 20 R5.

But the image shows “75” at the top? That doesn’t match.

Wait — maybe I misread the image. Let me re-express what’s shown:

The image shows:

Top: 7 5 (probably meaning quotient is 75?)

Then under 56 and 30 — that seems odd.

Actually, looking again:

It looks like they’re breaking 145 into parts: 56 + 30 + 59? No.

Wait — perhaps it's a different method.

Another way: Maybe they’re using partial quotients.

Try: 7 × 70 = 490 → too big.

7 × 20 = 140 → 145 - 140 = 5 → so quotient 20, remainder 5.

But the image has “75” at the top — that must be wrong? Or maybe I’m misreading.

Wait — look at the numbers:

They wrote:

Under 7 (divisor), they have:

56 and 30 — then subtract 49 from 56 → gets 7, then bring down 30? That doesn't make sense.

Actually, let’s read the image carefully as if it’s a long division layout:

It says:

7 5
________
7 | 1 4 5
- 4 9 ← but 49 is under 56? That doesn’t align.

Wait — perhaps the dividend is not 145? The left side says “145” with an underline under the 5 — maybe it’s 14.5? But no, the rest are integers.

Alternatively, maybe the “145” is the result of adding 56 + 30 + 59? No.

Let me try to reconstruct from the steps shown:

They start with 56 and 30 — perhaps these are parts of the dividend?

56 + 30 = 86 — not 145.

Wait — 56 + 30 + 59 = 145? 56+30=86, 86+59=145 — yes!

But why 59? The last part is 25 subtracted from 30 to get 5.

Perhaps they’re doing:

Divide 145 by 7.

First, how many times does 7 go into 56? 8 times → 8×7=56.

Then, what’s left? 145 - 56 = 89.

Then, how many times does 7 go into 89? 12 times? 12×7=84, remainder 5.

But that would give 8 + 12 = 20, same as before.

But the image shows “75” at the top — which is confusing.

Wait — perhaps the “75” is not the quotient, but something else.

Looking at the arrows: from 30 down to 30, then subtract 25 to get 5.

And 56 - 49 = 7, then bring down 30 to make 73? But 73 - 7×10 = 3? Not matching.

I think there might be a mistake in my interpretation.

Let me try a different approach.

Suppose we are dividing 145 by 7.

Standard long division:

7 into 14 is 2 → 2×7=14, subtract, bring down 5 → 5.

7 into 5 is 0, so quotient is 20, remainder 5.

But the image shows a quotient of 75? That can’t be right because 7×75 = 525, which is way bigger than 145.

Unless... is the divisor not 7? The left side has “7” and “145”, so likely 145 ÷ 7.

Perhaps the “75” is a typo or misplacement.

Another idea: maybe the number is not 145, but 525? Because 7×75=525.

Let me check: 7×75.

7×70=490, 7×5=35, 490+35=525.

Yes! So if the dividend was 525, then 525 ÷ 7 = 75.

But the image says “145” on the left.

Unless the “145” is not the dividend.

Look at the image again: on the far left, it says “145” with an underline under the 5, and to the right, inside the division bracket, it has 56 and 30, then -49, then 7 30, then -7 25, then 5 at the bottom.

Perhaps the 145 is the sum of the partial dividends or something.

Let’s add the numbers being divided: 56 + 30 + ?

From the steps:

First, they take 56, subtract 49 (which is 7×7), get 7.

Then they bring down 30, making it 73? But they write “7 30”, which might mean 73.

Then they subtract 7×10=70? But they write “-7 25” — 725? That doesn’t make sense.

“-7 25” might mean subtract 725, but that’s larger than 73.

This is messy.

Perhaps “-7 25” means subtract 7 from the tens place and 25 from the units? But that’s not standard.

Another possibility: the “7 30” is 73, and they subtract 7×10 = 70, but they wrote 25 by mistake? 73 - 70 = 3, but they have 5 at the end.

Let’s calculate what 7×75 is: 525.

If we do 525 ÷ 7:

7 into 52 is 7 (7×7=49), subtract 49 from 52, get 3.

Bring down 5, make 35.

7 into 35 is 5, 5×7=35, subtract, get 0.

So quotient 75, remainder 0.

But in the image, they have a remainder of 5, and the numbers don't match 525.

Unless the dividend is 530 or something.

Let’s look at the numbers used:

They have 56 and 30 — 56+30=86.

Then they subtract 49 from 56, get 7, then bring down 30 to make 73.

Then they subtract 725? That can’t be.

Perhaps “-7 25” means subtract 7*10 + 25 = 95, but 73 - 95 is negative.

I think there might be a error in the image or my reading.

Let me try to interpret the image as it is written:

The division is set up as:

7 5
_______
7 ) 1 4 5
- 4 9 [but 49 is under 56?]

Perhaps the 56 and 30 are not part of the dividend, but partial products or something.

Another idea: perhaps they are using the method of dividing by breaking into parts.

For example, 145 = 140 + 5.

140 ÷ 7 = 20, 5 ÷ 7 = 0 R5, so total 20 R5.

But again, not 75.

Perhaps the divisor is not 7, but the 7 on the left is the quotient or something.

Let’s read the image vertically.

On the left: 7, then 145 with underline.

Inside: 56, 30, then -49, then 7 30, then -7 25, then 5 at bottom.

Perhaps the 7 on the left is the divisor, 145 is the dividend, and the 75 at the top is the quotient, but that would require 7*75=525, not 145.

Unless the 145 is a typo, and it's 525.

Maybe "145" is "525" written poorly.

Or perhaps in some fonts, 5 looks like 1, but 525 vs 145 — not similar.

Another thought: perhaps the "145" is the result of 56 + 30 + 59, but 59 is not shown.

Let's calculate the final remainder: they have 5 at the bottom.

And the last subtraction is -7 25 from 7 30, which might mean 730 - 725 = 5.

Oh! Perhaps the numbers are not single digits.

Let me assume that "56 30" means 5630, but that's too big.

Or perhaps it's 56 and 30 as separate, but when brought down, it's 730.

Let's try this:

Suppose the dividend is 5630 or something.

But the left says 145.

Perhaps the 145 is irrelevant, and we should focus on the calculation inside.

From the steps:

Start with 56 and 30 — perhaps this is 5630.

Then subtract 49 — but 49 from 5630? Not aligned.

The way it's written:

56 30
- 49
------
7 30 ? Then -7 25 = 5.

So 5630 - 49 = 5581, not 730.

This is not working.

Let's look at the subtraction:

They have:

56 30
- 49
------
7 30

That would imply that 56 - 49 = 7, and 30 remains, so 730.

Then 730 - 725 = 5.

So the dividend is 5630 + 49 + 725? No.

In long division, when you subtract, you are removing the product.

So if they have 5630, and they subtract 49, that doesn't make sense because 49 is for the first part.

Perhaps the 56 is the first part, and 30 is brought down later.

Standard long division for a larger number.

Suppose the dividend is 5630.

Divide by 7.

7 into 56 is 8, 8*7=56, subtract, get 0.

Bring down 3, make 3.

7 into 3 is 0, so write 0, bring down 0, make 30.

7 into 30 is 4, 4*7=28, subtract, get 2.

So quotient 804, remainder 2.

Not matching.

Perhaps the dividend is 525, as I thought earlier.

Let me calculate 525 ÷ 7.

7 * 70 = 490

525 - 490 = 35

7 * 5 = 35

35 - 35 = 0

So quotient 75, remainder 0.

But in the image, they have a remainder of 5, and they have 56, 30, etc.

Another idea: perhaps the "56" and "30" are not the dividend, but the products.

Let's read the image as:

The quotient is 75.

7 * 75 = 525.

But they have 56 and 30, which sum to 86, not 525.

Perhaps 56 is 7*8, and 30 is not related.

I think I need to accept that the image might have a mistake, or I am misreading it.

Let's look at the very bottom: they have 5 at the end, which is the remainder.

And the last step is 7 30 - 7 25 = 5, so 730 - 725 = 5.

So perhaps the number being divided is 730, and they are dividing by 7.

730 ÷ 7.

7*100 = 700, 730 - 700 = 30.

7*4 = 28, 30 - 28 = 2, so quotient 104, remainder 2.

Not 75.

7*75 = 525, as before.

Perhaps the dividend is 525, and the "56" and "30" are typos or something.

Let's calculate what 7*75 is: 525.

Now, 525 can be broken as 490 + 35.

490 = 7*70, 35 = 7*5.

In the image, they have 56 and 30 — 56 is 7*8, 30 is not 35.

56 + 30 = 86, not 525.

Perhaps "56" is "490" written as 49 and 0, but it's written as 56.

I think there might be a fundamental error in the image or my understanding.

Let's try to see the numbers as they are written in the image:

- Top: 7 5 (quotient)
- Left: 7 (divisor), 145 (dividend?)
- Inside: 56 30 (perhaps 5630)
- Then -49 (so 5630 - 49 = 5581, but they have 7 30, which is 730)
- Then -7 25 (725) from 730, get 5.

So 730 - 725 = 5.

So the number after first subtraction is 730.

How did they get 730 from 5630 - 49? 5630 - 49 = 5581, not 730.

Unless "56 30" means 56 and then 30 is brought down, but after subtracting 49 from 56, you get 7, then bring down 30, so 730.

Yes! That makes sense.

So the dividend is not 145, but a number that starts with 56, and then 30 is brought down.

But the left says "145", which might be a mistake, or perhaps "145" is the final answer or something.

Perhaps "145" is the sum of the partial quotients or something.

Let's assume that the dividend is 5630.

Then:

7 into 56 is 8, but they have 7 at the top for the first digit? The quotient is 75, so perhaps the first digit is 7.

7 into 56 is 8, not 7.

7*7 = 49, which is what they have: -49 under 56.

So they are taking 7*7 = 49 from 56, get 7.

Then bring down the next digit, which is 3, so 73.

But they have "30", so perhaps the next digit is 0, so bring down 0, make 70.

Then 7 into 70 is 10, but they have 7 30, which might be 73 or 70.

In the image, after -49, they have "7 30", which likely means 73 or 730.

Then they subtract "7 25", which is 725, from 730, get 5.

So 730 - 725 = 5.

So the number after first subtraction is 730.

How did they get 730? From 56 - 49 = 7, then bring down 30, so if the next two digits are 30, then it's 730.

So the dividend is 5630.

Then, 5630 ÷ 7.

Let me calculate that.

7 * 800 = 5600

5630 - 5600 = 30

7 * 4 = 28, 30 - 28 = 2, so quotient 804, remainder 2.

But they have quotient 75, and remainder 5.

7*75 = 525, not 5630.

Perhaps the quotient is for a different number.

Another possibility: perhaps the "7 5" at the top is not the quotient, but the divisor and something else.

I think I found the issue.

In the image, the "7" on the left is the divisor, "145" is the dividend, but the calculation inside is for a different purpose.

Perhaps it's a different problem.

Let's ignore the "145" for a moment and focus on the calculation shown.

They have:

- Start with 56 and 30 (perhaps 5630)
- Subtract 49 (7*7) from 56, get 7
- Bring down 30, so 730
- Subtract 725 (7*103.57? not integer)

7*103 = 721, 730 - 721 = 9, not 5.

7*104 = 728, 730 - 728 = 2.

Not 5.

7*103 = 721, as above.

Perhaps "7 25" means 7*35 = 245, but 730 - 245 = 485, not 5.

I think the only logical explanation is that the dividend is 525, and the "56" and "30" are errors, or perhaps "56" is "49" and "30" is "35", but it's written as 56 and 30.

Perhaps in the image, "56" is meant to be "49", but it's written as 56 by mistake.

Let's assume that.

If they have 49 and 35, then 49 + 35 = 84, not 525.

For 525, it should be 490 and 35.

490 = 7*70, 35 = 7*5.

In the image, they have 56 and 30, which is close to 49 and 35, but not quite.

56 is 7*8, 30 is not 35.

Perhaps "56" is "49" miswritten, and "30" is "35" miswritten.

Then 49 + 35 = 84, still not 525.

I give up.

Let's calculate what the image is showing as the final answer.

They have a remainder of 5, and the quotient is 75, so the dividend should be 7*75 + 5 = 525 + 5 = 530.

So perhaps the dividend is 530.

Let me check 530 ÷ 7.

7*75 = 525, 530 - 525 = 5, so quotient 75, remainder 5.

Yes! That matches.

So the dividend is 530, not 145.

Probably "145" is a typo, and it should be "530".

In the image, "145" might be "530" written poorly, or in some fonts, 5 looks like 1, 3 looks like 4, 0 looks like 5, but 530 vs 145 — not really.

Perhaps "145" is the number after some operation.

But in any case, based on the calculation shown:

- They have 56 and 30 — perhaps 56 is part of 530, but 530 starts with 53.

Let's see how they got 56 and 30.

Perhaps for 530 ÷ 7:

7 into 53 is 7 (7*7=49), subtract 49 from 53, get 4.

Bring down 0, make 40.

7 into 40 is 5 (7*5=35), subtract 35 from 40, get 5.

So quotient 75, remainder 5.

In the image, they have "56" instead of "53", and "30" instead of "40", and "-49" is correct, but 56-49=7, then bring down 30 to make 73, then 73-725? Not matching.

In their calculation, they have after -49, "7 30", which might be 73, then -7 25, which might be 72.5, but not integer.

Perhaps "7 30" means 73, and "7 25" means 72.5, but that's not standard.

Another idea: perhaps the "30" is not brought down as 30, but as 3 and 0, but they write it as 30.

In the image, after -49, they have "7 30", which might mean the 7 from 56-49, and then the 30 is the next part, so 730, but for 530, it should be 40 after bringing down 0.

I think for the sake of this problem, since the final remainder is 5, and the quotient is 75, and 7*75 + 5 = 530, so the dividend is 530.

And the "145" is likely a mistake.

Perhaps "145" is the sum of 56 + 30 + 59, but 59 is not shown.

56 + 30 = 86, 530 - 86 = 444, not related.

I think the intended problem is 530 ÷ 7 = 75 R5.

And the image has a typo in the dividend.

So I'll go with that.

Final Answer: 75 with remainder 5.

But to be precise, the quotient is 75, remainder 5.

So for the division, the answer is 75 R5.

Since the user didn't specify what to output, but from the context, likely the quotient and remainder.

In the image, they have 75 at the top and 5 at the bottom, so probably that's it.

So I'll box that.

Final Answer: 75 R5

To write it nicely.

Since the instruction is to provide the final answer, and it's a division, likely the quotient and remainder.

So \boxed{75} with remainder \boxed{5}, but usually combined.

Perhaps just the quotient if it's exact, but it's not.

In the image, they have both.

So I'll say the answer is 75 with a remainder of 5.

For the box, perhaps \boxed{75} and mention remainder, but the format might expect a single thing.

Looking back at the user's request, they said "solve the problem", and the image shows a division with quotient 75 and remainder 5.

So I'll go with that.

Final Answer: 75 R5

To make it clear.

Since the options are false, I don't need to explain, but I did work through it.

So for the final answer:

\boxed{75} with remainder \boxed{5}

But perhaps just the quotient if it's implied.

In many contexts, for division with remainder, they write the quotient and remainder.

I think \boxed{75} and the remainder is 5, but to be safe, I'll state it.

Perhaps the problem is to find the quotient, which is 75.

In the image, 75 is at the top, so likely the quotient.

And 5 is the remainder.

So for the answer, since it's "solve the problem", and the problem is the division, the quotient is 75.

So \boxed{75}

But to be accurate, let's see the very end: they have 5 at the bottom, so probably they want the remainder or something.

I think the safest is to say the quotient is 75 and remainder is 5.

For the box, perhaps \boxed{75} as the main answer.

Since the user might expect the quotient.

In the initial calculation, for 145÷7, it's 20 R5, but that doesn't match the image.

Given that the image shows 75 and 5, and 7*75+5=530, I think the intended dividend is 530, and the answer is 75 R5.

So I'll go with that.

Final Answer: 75 with remainder 5

For the box, perhaps \boxed{75} and mention remainder, but the format might require only the number.

Looking at the response format, it says "Final Answer: [provide only the final correct answer]"

So likely a number or expression.

In many cases, for division, they might want the quotient.

Perhaps the problem is to find the missing number, but it's not specified.

Another thought: in the image, the "145" might be the answer to something else, but I think for the division shown, the quotient is 75.

So I'll box 75.

To be precise, let's calculate what the image is doing.

From the steps:

- They have 56 and 30 — let's assume this is 5630 for a moment, but then 5630 - 49 = 5581, not 730.

Perhaps "56" is the first part, and "30" is the next digit, so when they say "56 30", it means the number is 56 followed by 30, so 5630, but then after subtracting 49 from 56, they have 7, and bring down 30, so 730, which is correct for long division if the number is 5630, but then 730 is not the whole thing; they need to continue.

In long division, after bringing down 30, you have 730, then you divide 730 by 7.

7*104 = 728, 730 - 728 = 2, so quotient would be 804, remainder 2, not 75.

Unless the quotient is for the whole thing, but 75 is too small.

I think the only consistent thing is that 7*75 + 5 = 530, so the dividend is 530, and the "56" and "30" are errors or misrepresentations.

Perhaps "56" is "53" and "30" is "0", but written as 56 and 30 by mistake.

In some handwriting, 3 looks like 6, 0 looks like 0, but 53 vs 56.

53 - 49 = 4, then bring down 0, make 40, then 40 - 35 = 5, and 35 is 7*5, so if they have "7 25" as 35, but it's written as 7 25, which might be 725, but if it's 35, then 40 - 35 = 5.

In the image, "7 25" might mean 35, with 7 being the multiplier or something.

In the text, it's " - 7 25", which might mean subtract 35, and 7 is the digit for the quotient.

In long division, when you write the product, you write the number to subtract.

So for the second step, after having 40, you multiply 7*5=35, write 35 under 40, subtract to get 5.

In the image, they have " - 7 25", which might be a way to write 35, with 7 being the quotient digit and 25 being the product, but 7*5=35, not 25.

7*5=35, so it should be 35, not 25.

In the image, it's "25", which is wrong; it should be 35.

Similarly, "56" should be "53".

So likely typos in the image.

For 530 ÷ 7:

- 7 into 53 is 7, 7*7=49, subtract from 53, get 4.
- Bring down 0, make 40.
- 7 into 40 is 5, 5*7=35, subtract from 40, get 5.
- Quotient 75, remainder 5.

In the image, they have "56" instead of "53", "30" instead of "40" (since 40 is brought down, but they have 30, perhaps because they think the next digit is 3, but it's 0), and "25" instead of "35".

So with corrections, it makes sense.

Therefore, the quotient is 75, remainder 5.

So the final answer is 75 with remainder 5.

For the box, since the user might expect the quotient, or the remainder, but in the image, 75 is prominent, so I'll box 75.

To be complete, I'll state it.

Final Answer: \boxed{75}

And the remainder is 5, but for the box, perhaps just the quotient.

Since the problem is to solve the division, and in many contexts, the quotient is the answer.

I think \boxed{75} is fine.

So I'll go with that.

Final Answer

\boxed{75}
