Examples: | Divide 1,497 by 2 | Divide 1,536 by 12 |
Step 1
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
.In the first step, place the dividend | |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
(1,536) on the frame near the left side, leaving one column vacant for the quotient figure (fig 1). The process is the following: Divide the first figure of the dividend by the first figure of the divisor; Multiply the quotient thus obtained by the second figure of the divisor and subtract the product thus obtained from the dividend on the 2nd column from the quotient figure.Repeat |

fig 1 | until the entire dividend is finished. |
