D-Divide
M-Multiply
S-Subtract
B-Bring Down
Before starting your long division problem, decide where your answer (quotient) will start (hundreds, tens, ones,etc.) Put an "X" above that place value position. Write down how many digits your answer will have before you start your problem. Remember to continue dividing until you no longer have any digits to "bring down". You can always check your answer by multiplying.
