When to use it
Use it each time you work through a digit of a long-division problem to keep the four steps in the correct order.
Example
Dividing 156 by 4: Divide 15 by 4 (3), Multiply 3 x 4 (12), Subtract 15 - 12 (3), Bring down 6 to get 36, then repeat.
Common mistake
Skipping the Bring Down step and starting a new division cycle before pulling the next digit into the remainder.
