The only rule to follow is

Divide dividend by divisor and the mention the quotient and things left after remains in place of remainder

Here is a sample


\sf\Large\qquad\quad16\\ \begin{array}{cc} \cline{2 - 2}\sf 20 )&\sf \ 327\\&\sf - 20 \downarrow\\ \cline{2-2}& \sf \ \ \ \ 127\\ &\sf \ - 120 \\ \cline{2-2} & \sf \ \007 \\ \cline{2-2} \end{array}\\\\\\ \sf Divisor \rightarrow 20 \\ \\ \sf Quotient \rightarrow 16\\\\ \sf Remainder \rightarrow 7
