How to Solve Division

This requires strong estimation skills and patience. Divide the two-digit divisor into the leading digits of the four-digit dividend, estimate the quotient digit, multiply, subtract, and bring down. Repeat for each place value. If your estimate is too large (the product exceeds the available digits), reduce it by one. If too small (the remainder exceeds the divisor), increase it.
