Long division is four repeated moves.
Divide to find the next quotient digit, multiply that digit by the divisor, subtract to find what remains, then bring down the next digit. The guided school method reveals the written work one move at a time so the numbers stay lined up like pencil-and-paper long division. Remainder mode stops after the whole-number digits; decimal mode keeps bringing down zeros after the decimal point and identifies repeating decimals when the cycle appears.
