To use the partial quotient strategy:
The main idea is to subtract from the dividend (the number 986) an easy multiple (x10, x5, etc.) of the divisor (the divisor is 26).
In Sven's case:
• He began with 10 x 26 and ,used it three times.
,
• Since the leftover (206) was less than (10 x 26), he used a lesser multiple (7 x 26 = 182).
,
• He did this until the leftover is less than 26.
,
• Next, he added all the multipliers of 26:
Therefore:
