Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\60&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}4&3&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$60$$$'s are in $$$4$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$4-60 \cdot 0 = 4 - 0= 4$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{Crimson}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}\color{Crimson}{4}& 3 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&3&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$60$$$'s are in $$$43$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

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

Now, $$$43-60 \cdot 0 = 43 - 0= 43$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&\color{DarkCyan}{0}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}4&3& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DarkCyan}{4}&\color{DarkCyan}{3}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&3&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$60$$$'s are in $$$430$$$?

The answer is $$$7$$$.

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

Now, $$$430-60 \cdot 7 = 430 - 420= 10$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&\color{GoldenRod}{7}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}4&3&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&3&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{GoldenRod}{4}&\color{GoldenRod}{3}&\color{GoldenRod}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}4&2&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$60$$$'s are in $$$100$$$?

The answer is $$$1$$$.

Write down $$$1$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$100-60 \cdot 1 = 100 - 60= 40$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&7&\color{Chartreuse}{1}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}4&3&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&3&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&3&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}4&2&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Chartreuse}{1}&\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&4&0&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$60$$$'s are in $$$400$$$?

The answer is $$$6$$$.

Write down $$$6$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$400-60 \cdot 6 = 400 - 360= 40$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccc}0&0&7&1&.&\color{Green}{6}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{60}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccc}4&3&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllll}-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&3&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&3&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}4&2&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&0&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{3}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&6&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&\color{Green}{4}&\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{.}&\color{Green}{0}\\&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&3&6&\phantom{.}&0\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&4&\phantom{.}&0&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$
