Recap
In primary school, we learnt how to do arithmetic long division. For example, using long division, we can divide 44 (dividend) by 3 (divisor) to get a quotient of 14 and find a remainder of 2.

Using long division, we are able to express an improper fraction (numerator > denominator) into a proper fraction. The aim of this topic is to do the same but with algebraic fractions.
