To divide 583 by 2 using the breakdown method, we can break it down step by step. Here's how you can do it:
1. **Break down 583 into manageable parts**:
- We can write 583 as \( 500 + 80 + 3 \).
2. **Divide each part by 2**:
- \( 500 ÷ 2 = 250 \)
- \( 80 ÷ 2 = 40 \)
- \( 3 ÷ 2 = 1.5 \) (or you can say \( 3 \) divided by \( 2 \) equals \( 1\) with a remainder of \( 1 \), which is \( 0.5 \) when converted to decimal).
3. **Add the results together**:
- \( 250 + 40 + 1.5 = 291.5 \)
So, \( 583 ÷ 2 = 291.5 \).
If you prefer to express this as a whole number with a remainder, you would say:
- The whole number result is \( 291 \) with a remainder of \( 1 \).
Thus, \( 583 ÷ 2 = 291 \) remainder \( 1 \) or \( 291.5 \) as a decimal.
