V. BRING DOWN: Bring down the 6 of the dividend and write it at the right of 12. The new partial dividend is 126. I. DIVIDE: 126 contains 49 two times. Write 2 in the quotient above the 6 of the dividend.

II. MULTIPLY: 2X49=98.

III. SUBTRACT: 126-98=28.

IV. COMPARE: 28 is less than 49.

There are no more figures in the dividend to bring down. Write the remainder at the right of 32, and over the divisor, 49. 1596÷49 32.

IV. COMPARE: 2 is less than 46. V. BRING DOWN: Place the 0 at the right of the 2. The new partial dividend is 20. Since 46 is not contained in 20 you must write a 0 to the right of the 2 in the quotient, then bring down the next figure of the dividend. This gives 207. I. DIVIDE: 207 contains 46 four times. Place the 4 over the 7. II. MULTIPLY: 4X46 184.

=

III. SUBTRACT: 207-184 = 23.

IV. COMPARE: 23 is less than 46.

There are no more figures to bring down. Write the remainder at the right of 204, and over the divisor, 46. 9407÷46=20423.
