Step 5: | |
     |
9 (first figure of the dividend) by 1 equals 0 and forward 9 thus, cancel the 9 from the dividend and place 9 on the next to the left column. 9 x 2 = 18. Here, exists the same problem as in step three: 18 is too large to be subtracted from 6 (figure left in the dividend). Thus, act as previous. Instead of 9, use 8. 8 by 1 equals 0 and forward 8. |

| fig 1 | Cancel 8 from the 9 and move up to the next to the left column 8. 8 x 2 = 16. 16 (what left in the dividend) minus 16 equals 0. Hence, the quotient is 128. |
