How to divide natural numbers using pencil and paper

The joy of division

Some people are looking for the continental divide, while others prefer to divide and conquer. We’d rather just divide and be content with that. As lifeforms equipped with digits, we try to stick to our nature — and in this digital age, we divide natural numbers.
