To divide 10,051 by 4,37 I write thus:
4370) 10051 (2,3 8740
13110 13110
0

In the above sum, the answer is, 2 wholes and 3 tenths.
Again, divide 154,3 by 21,26.
2126) 15430 (7,25 14882
5480 4252
12280 10630
1650 remainder.
The answer is 7 wholes, and 25 hundredths. It is unnecessary to carry the remainder to any lower fraction.
