When the divisor is not a single digit, long division (“the division bracket”) keeps the same idea: at each step you take a partial dividend and ask how many times the whole divisor fits — that gives the next digit of the quotient.
Before computing, it helps to estimate the answer: round the divisor to a “round” number and say whether the quotient is closer to tens, hundreds, and so on.
Check: quotient×divisor+remainder=dividend; if there is a remainder, it is always less than the divisor.

At each step divide by the entire divisor, not one digit
Remainder is less than the divisor; even division means remainder zero
