Step 3: 3 (first figure of the new dividend) | |
     |
by 1(first figure of the divisor) equals 0 and forward 3, thus cancel the 3 and move up 3 (new quotient figure) on the next left column. 3 (new quotient figure) x 2 (second figure of the divisor) equals 6. However, the product 6 obtained would be too large to be subtracted from the 3 (second dividend figure) (fig 1). To avoid the problem of step 3, cancel what you did till now in that step |

| fig 1 | and try again but this time instead of taking 3 (first figure of the dividend) take 2. |
