Division by 9
Running digit sums give the quotient and the remainder
The Rule
- 1Write the running totals of the digits, left to right.
- 2All totals except the last are the quotient digits (carry if a total is 10 or more).
- 3The last total (the full digit sum) is the remainder.
- 4If the remainder is 9 or more, take out the 9s and add them to the quotient.
