Example 1      98 ÷ 4 =      can be written as     

First iteration:

(a)	(b)	(c)	(d)
9 ÷ 4 = 2	4 × 2 = 8	9 − 8 = 1	1 ÷ 4 = number less than one so bring down the number 8 from the original 98:

Second iteration:

(a)	(b)	(c)	(d)
18 ÷ 4 = 4	4 × 4 = 16	18 − 16 = 2	2 ÷ 4 = number less than one so bring down the number 0 from 98.0:

Third iteration:

(a)	(b)	(c)
20 ÷ 4 = 5	4 × 5 = 20	20 − 20 = 0

So 98 ÷ 4 = 24.5
