Long Division – Interior Zero in Quotient

Explanation

\[ \begin{array}{r} 7 \enspace 0 \enspace 3 \\ \hline 6 \big) 4 \enspace 2 \enspace 1 \enspace 8 \\ \underline{-4 \enspace 2} \phantom{\enspace 0 \enspace 0} \\ 0 \enspace 1 \phantom{\enspace 0} \\ \underline{-\enspace 0} \phantom{\enspace 0} \\ 1 \enspace 8 \\ \underline{-1 \enspace 8} \\ 0 \\ \end{array} \]

After placing 7 in the hundreds column (\(7 \times 6 = 42\)), bring down 1. Since 6 does not divide 1, write 0 in the tens column. Bring down 8, giving 18. \(18 \div 6 = 3\). Quotient: 703. Check: \(703 \times 6 = 4{,}218\) ✓
