Division in other bases is very much similar to division in base 10, except that the multiplication and subtraction have to be done (mentally) in the given base.

This forum does not permit lining up digits, so a long division demonstration is not possible.

Try another site such as:

(Note that the division (2252รท23 in base 7) was not done correctly, because 6*23<sub>7</sub> is 204<sub>7</sub>, not 203<sub>7</sub>. Consequently, the answer should have been 66<sub>7</sub> with a remainder of 5).
