Answer: it’s not that hard.

Explanation:

Divide the new number by your divisor, and write the result above the dividend as the next digit of the quotient. In the example, determine out how many times 6 can go into 10. Write that number (1) into the quotient above the dividend. Then multiply 6 by 1, and subtract the result from 10.
