Can you please explain the process of manually performing division in a step-by-step manner? I'm interested in understanding the basics of this fundamental mathematical operation, including how to set up the problem, determine the divisor and dividend, and then proceed with the division process itself. Additionally, I'd like to know about any common mistakes to avoid and tips for making the process more efficient. Can you provide a clear and concise explanation that is easy to follow?

Bring down the next digit of the dividend, which is 5, and repeat the steps. Divide 5 by 3, which does not give a whole number. Bring down another digit (imagining there's a 0 after 5 to make it 50) and divide 50 by 3, resulting in 16 with a remainder of 2. Write 16 next to the quotient (28), making it 2816.

Begin the division process by dividing the first digit of the dividend by the divisor. In this case, 8 divided by 3 does not result in a whole number, so we'll consider the first two digits, 84, and divide it by 3. The result of 84 divided by 3 is 28, which becomes the first part of the quotient.

Next, multiply the divisor (3) by the result of the division (28). Write this product (84) under the dividend, aligning it to the right of the digits used in the division.

Subtract the product from the dividend. Here, 84 (the product) is subtracted from 84 (the first two digits of the dividend), resulting in zero. This indicates that 28 is the correct part of the quotient for the first two digits.

To perform long division, start by arranging the problem correctly. Place the dividend, which is the number being divided, (845) under the division bar. Position the divisor, the number by which you are dividing, (3) outside the bar.
