Question

What is a standard procedure for dividing by a two-digit divisor.?

Answer 1

In a standard equation of dividing a two digit divisor one must follow these steps:

1. Double check if the first two digits of the dividend are equal or larger that the divisor. Start dividing if so. 

2. Write the answer above the second digit (or third if the first two digits' value is smaller than the divisor).

3. Multiply the answer with the divisor and subtract it from the dividend (digits used).

4. From the answer to the subtraction, add the next digit to the right of the dividend and repeat process until you get the total quotient.

5. In cases of remainders (extra numbers not divisible by the divisor), write them to the right of the quotient.
