The fifth step is to divide 7 (1,497) | |
     |
by 2 (divisor). As previous, there is no exact division. Break the 7 as 6 plus 1. Hence, divide 6 first. Then take up the remainder 1. 6 by 2 equals 0 forward 3. Immediately cancel 6 (the figure being divided) and move up 3 on the left column. Now divide the remainder 1 by 2 equals 5. Cancel the 1 and place 5 on the same column. |
