:estelle_smug2: kiseki 2: it's cho-ho-ho-roin' time
my mom casually mentioned that she hates division with "two digits" and let me tell you
fuck division with two digits in the divisor
what's this bs of "you have to estimate what the next digit will be"

shit so bad i have this like, evil scientist idea of just doing ruffini instead
like you know how eg the number 5485 can be written as 5+8*10+4*10^2+5*10^3? so you can turn it into a polynomial: 5+8x+4x^2+5x^3.
The advantage is that polynomial division is much more deterministic, there's no fucking guessing
and the coefficients always have one digit

@schappi I work better with multiples of 10. To use your own example, I would do:
30*7 = 21*10 = 210
8*7 = 56
210 + 56 = 266
If I used 5 (10/2), I would have to divide and I'm not good at that, to be honest. Same with subtraction.
for example 38*7 is 38*(10/2+2) so we have
38*10/2=380/2=190
38*2=(40-2)*2=80-4=76
190+76=190+80-4=200+80-4-10=280-10-4=270-4=266
