Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $1$ from dividend $123$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{23)}\phantom{1}\\23\overline{)123}\\\end{array}$$

Since $1$ is less than $23$, use the next digit $2$ from dividend $123$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{23)}0\phantom{2}\\23\overline{)123}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $2$ from dividend $123$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{23)}0\phantom{3}\\23\overline{)123}\\\end{array}$$

Since $12$ is less than $23$, use the next digit $3$ from dividend $123$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{23)}00\phantom{4}\\23\overline{)123}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $3$ from dividend $123$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{23)}00\phantom{5}\\23\overline{)123}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $23$ to $123$. We see that $5 \times 23 = 115$ is the nearest. Now subtract $115$ from $123$ to get reminder $8$. Add $5$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{23)}005\phantom{6}\\23\overline{)123}\\\phantom{23)}\underline{\phantom{}115\phantom{}}\\\phantom{23)99}8\\\end{array}$$

Since $8$ is less than $23$, stop the division. The reminder is $8$. The topmost line $005$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $5$.

$$\text{Quotient: }5$$ $$\text{Reminder: }8$$
