All you do is divide the first number of your given dividend by the first digit of the divisor. Then write the result of that division in the space of sed quotient. Now you want to multiply the digit of the quotient by the divisor, finally write the result beneath the dividend and subtract it. That is all friend.

Answer:

First, we need to select the digits of the dividend that can be divided by the divisor, remember that those dividend digits must be equal or greater than the divisor.

Then, we have to look for a number which multiplication with the divisor reaches the selected digits in the dividend, the product that gets the closest, we select them and write it down in the quotient. Now, we multiply this digit with the divisor and the result we write it down the dividend digits, next, we subtract them.

Lastly, we repeat this procedure until have no more dividend digits to divide.
