$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\120&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}8&5&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$120$$$'s are in $$$8$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$8-120 \cdot 0 = 8 - 0= 8$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}\color{Fuchsia}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{120}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}\color{Fuchsia}{8}& 5 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&5&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$120$$$'s are in $$$85$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$85-120 \cdot 0 = 85 - 0= 85$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{ccccccccc}0&\color{Peru}{0}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}&\phantom{3}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{120}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{ccccccccc}8&5& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Peru}{8}&\color{Peru}{5}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}8&5&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$120$$$'s are in $$$850$$$?

The answer is $$$7$$$.

Write down $$$7$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$850-120 \cdot 7 = 850 - 840= 10$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
