The fourth step is to divide 9 (1,497) | |
     |
by 2 (divisor). Because there is no
exact division, break the 9 as 8 plus 1. Hence, divide 8 first and then the remainder 1. 8 by 2 equals 0 forward 4. Immediately cancel 8 (the figure being divided) and move up 4 on the left column. Now divide the remainder 1 by 2 . equals 5. Cancel the 1 and place 5 on the same column. The result now is 7,457 (fig 1). |
