Answer :

Set up the equation. On a piece of paper, write the dividend (number being divided) on the right, under the division symbol, and the divisor (number doing the division) to the left on the outside. ...Divide the first digit. ...Divide the first two digits. ...Enter the first digit of the quotient.
you first need to know how to divide small numbers, then you can divide bigger numbers into the hundreds and thousands place. you must find the multiples of the number. say I am dividing 2/256 then first I will divide the first number in the division box this number is 2. two goes into two 1 time so above the box I write a 1 then I carry out the problem so 2 goes into 5, 2 TIMES SO I WRITE A 2 ON THE TOP then I write a 4 underneath to subtract then 2 goes in to sixteen 8 times so 2/256 =128
