45,689 / 2,356 =

I hate long division. Sophie, having missed several days of school so that she could go to Kuwait, returned home to find she had pages of homework involving long division. I suck at tutoring because I get so impatient watching and waiting for her to fill in the information. This is what calculators are for. Who sits around and divides 6,241 by 235 by hand? No one. Worse, the teachers always want the student to check the answer so then we have to add multiplication to the fun. I'm getting to the point where the money is not worth the frustration. However, the free Leann Chin helps.
