Ask: "How many times does the divisor fit into the current number?"
Multiply the new quotient digit by the divisor.
Subtract the product from the current working number.
Pull down the next digit from the dividend next to the remainder.
If there are more digits, loop back to Divide! If no digits remain, the leftover is the Remainder (R).
When you bring down a digit, if the divisor cannot fit (fits 0 times), you MUST write a 0 in the quotient before bringing down another digit! For example, 618 รท 6 = 103, NOT 13!
(Divisor ร Quotient) + Remainder = Dividend
Example: (4 ร 18) + 3 = 72 + 3 = 75. It always balances!
