Explanation

If you're thinking, "It's much easier to use a calculator for these. Who would do long division when they could just use a calculator?" you are correct. However, in response I would say,

• who always has a calculator with them?

• calculators die

• cell phones run out of batteries

• if you just have 1 or 2 questions like this to do, sometimes it's easier to just do it by hand than run around trying to borrow a calculator

• some tests don't allow calculators
