[b]SOLVED[/b] I am trying to practice my understanding of long division which from my knowledge isn't as complicated as it looks because it follows a repeating process that sounds something like this: [b]Divide[/b] - Divide the number on the bottom by the divisor. Place the result at the end of the number at the top. [b]Multiply[/b] - Multiply the next digit at the top by the divisor. Place the result on the bottom. [b]Subtract[/b] - Concerns the two numbers closest to the bottom. Subtract the bottom number from the top number. Place the result below it. [b]Bring down[/b] - Place the next digit of the dividend at the end of the number on the bottom 13750 ÷ 50 = 275 When I do long division however, I end up with -00333 and I keep running into negative numbers: ....... -00333 50 V 13750 ........ [u]0 [/u] ........13 ........ [u]0[/u] ........137 ........[u]150[/u] ........-135 ........ [u]-150[/u] ........150 ........ [u]-150[/u] ........ 300 The answer should come out to 275, not -00333
