Answer 1

STEP 1: Start from the left in 2,226.
Move right until the digits form a number greater than 53.
This number is 222.

STEP 2: Estimate the quotient of this number and 53 to get the first digit of the quotient.
Then multiply this first digit with 53.
Next, subtract the resulting product from 222.

STEP 3: Then bring down the next number in 2,226, and repeat the process.

(Completing the division gives 2,226 ÷ 53 = 42.)
