What is 90 Divided by 5? Answer is 18

 

The answer to 90 divided by 5 is 18. This means that if you take 90 and split it evenly into 5 parts, each part will be 18. Division helps us find how many equal parts a number can be separated into, and it’s one of the four basic operations in mathematics.

Let’s look at different ways to solve it.

Using Long Division

The simplest way to solve 90 ÷ 5 is through basic division.

Start by checking how many times 5 can go into 9.

Since 5 × 1 = 5 and 5 × 2 = 10 (too high), we use 1.

Subtract 5 from 9, leaving 4.

Bring down the 0 (from 90), making it 40.

Now, divide 40 by 5. Since 5 × 8 = 40, we write down 8.

Combine the digits (1 and 8), and we get 18 as the final quotient.

So, 90 ÷ 5 = 18.

Using the Distributive Property

The distributive property helps break larger numbers into smaller, easier parts.

$(a+b):c=a:c+b:c$

$90:5=(50+40):5$

$(50+40):5=50:5+40:5$

$50:5+40:5=10+8$

$10+8=18$

OR

Let’s split 90 into two parts that are easy to divide:
[90 ÷ 5 = (50 ÷ 5) + (40 ÷ 5)]

Now, divide each term:
[50 ÷ 5 = 10, 40 ÷ 5 = 8]

Add the two results:
[10 + 8 = 18]

This again gives 18, showing that the distributive property makes division simpler when handling large numbers.
