00:03 Let's start by dividing the leftmost digit in the dividend
00:07 2 is less than 16, so we'll include the next digit, and then divide
00:15 Write the result without the remainder above, paying attention to position
00:18 Now multiply the result by the divisor
00:21 Subtract the product from the number
00:25 Now bring down the next digit and follow the same steps
00:30 Divide
00:35 Write the result without the remainder above, paying attention to position
00:40 Multiply the result and subtract
00:45 Now bring down the next digit and follow the same steps
00:50 Divide
00:53 Write the result without the remainder above, paying attention to position
00:57 Multiply the result and subtract
01:01 We got a remainder of 0
