Now that you have learned a bit about some of the algorithms of long division, I'd like to tell you more about division. Algorithms for long division are efficient and fast to divide any two numbers. It is also essential to get precise calculations with work rather than using a calculator. The algorithms help in the mathematical and everyday world, such as in a band. A band must divide a song between all members for the song to sound good. Also, a fun fact about the division symbol, or the obelus, is that it was first introduced in 1959 by Johann Rahn.

In conclusion, Euclid's division algorithm, the Galley method of division, the Italian method, and the Fibonacci Fraction method are only some relevant algorithms for long division used during 450-1600 A.D., but there are other crucial algorithms.
