Hi
i have a small question
we know how to divide numbers using the elementary school Long procedure, suppose 
mathematica is a small child and i want him to show me his procedure step by step 
such as this:
input:  20839 ,  9
output:
1-  2/9 ->0   mod=2
2- 20/9 ->2   mod=2
3- 28/9 ->3   mod=1
4- 13/9 ->1   mod=4
5- 49/9 ->5   mod=4
so the final result will be 2315+(4/9)
how to implement this in mathematica
jack
