We do long division from left to right. Since 6 is greater than 3. 3 divides into 6, 2 times so we write 2 above 6 and the answer of 2 × 3, 6<span> is written below. </span> <span>Now, we need to work out the remainder by subtracting 6 from 6. This gives us 0. Bring down the 1 to make a new focus of 01. </span> <span>In this instant, the focus of 1 is less than 3 so a division is not possible. Put a 0 in the answer to show this and 0s below the 1. <span> Now, we work out the remainder by subtracting 0 from 1. This gives us 1. Bring down the 2 to make a new target of 12. </span></span><span> With the target of 12, the closest we can get is 12 by multiplying 3 by 4. Write 4 in the next column of the answer, and 12 below the 12 as shown. <span> Last, subtract 12 from 12 giving 0, so there is no remainder.
