Long Division

I had to help an 11 year old kid with his math homework last night. My stupidity was depressing and I even had to ask my wife for help on one question. The problem was that they don't carry it out to decimal points, they just leave a remainder (remember R3?). My brain wouldn't do that, it's just not right it said, and it refused to continue figuring out the problem.

He probably got all the questions wrong and he'll blame me. I just ruined a young man's life.

I can't wait until algebra...

I'm pretty sure at that point my son will be smarter than me, so he won't need my help.
