Answer:

Step 1: Take the first digit of the dividend. Check if this digit is greater than or equal to the divisor.

Step 2: Then divide it by the divisor and write the answer on top as the quotient.

Step 3: Subtract the result from the digit and write the difference below.

Step 4: Bring down the next number (if present).

Step 5: Repeat the same process.

Okay so for example 2:

So, the first digit of the dividend is 4 and it is equal to the divisor. So, 4 ÷ 4 =1. 1 is written on top.

Subtract: 4-4=0,

Bring the second digit of the dividend down and place it besides 0.

Now, 3<4. Hence, we write 0 as the quotient and bring down the next digit of the dividend and place it besides 3.

Now, we have 35 as the new dividend. 35 > 4. 35 is not divisible by 4, but we know that 4 × 8 = 32 < 35 so, we go for it.

Write 8 as the quotient. Subtract: 35-32=3.

3<4. Thus, 3 is the remainder and 108 is the quotient.

(sorry if it's a bit complicated to understand lol)
