If the divisor is larger than the first digit of the dividend, divide the first two digits of the dividend by the divisor, and so on. Write the quotient above the dividend. Multiply the quotient by the divisor and write the product under the dividend. Subtract that product from the dividend. Bring down the next digit of the dividend. Repeat the process until there are no more digits in the dividend to bring down.
