this follows EXACTLY the same process as long division of numbers, eg divide 36 by 5.

First: how many times does 5 go into 36? Answer is 7. How do you know this? Because 7x5 is 35. Then subtract 35 from 36, leaving 1. That is one form of the answer...7 and one-fifth.

So same applies to your question . First, how many times does go into ? Answer is since .

What remainder is left now? There is left. So we repeat...How many times does go into ? Answer is .

Repeat...how many times does go into ? Answer: -5/4
