Paper

Step 1: How Many Times Do 25 Go Into 8 (in the Hundredths Place)? the Answer Is 0 So We Move Over to the Next Number in the Dividend

Step 2: How Many Times Do 25 Go Into 87..the Answer Is 3…write 3 in the Quotient Over 87

Step 3: Multiply 3 × 25 = 75…place 75 Under 87 (in the Dividend) and Subtract the Two….ANSWER: 12

Step 4: Bring the Next Number Down Which Is 5 (in the Ones Place)….which Then Gives You 125

Step 5: How Many Times Will 25 Go Into 125? the ANSWER: 5; Place 5 in the Quotient

Step 6: Multiply 5 × 25 = 125…place 125 Under 125 (in the Dividend Section) and Subtract the Two

Step 7: Subtract 125 – 125 = 0…..this Is the Remainder
