Subject:   RE: strategy for division
Author: Connie H
Date: Oct 1 2006
I ahve always used the steps of:D,M,S,C,B,R
Divide: Daddy
Multiply: Mother
Subtract: Sister
Compare (the difference in the subtraction to see that it is not as large as the
divisor): Cat or Cousin
Bring Down: Brother
Remainder or Repeat: Rover

Hope this helps in remembering the steps of a long divison problem.
