Division: 100940 divided by 83804

[eman7]

Hello, I can't manage to do this division problem: 100940 divided by 83804. I know it goes into it once, but when I try to do the next step of long division which is the subtraction part, I get a negative number. Am I lining up the numbers wrong?

I am almost sure you are either

lining up numbers wrong, or,

you may have missed a number on the top, or,

you may have added a number in the bottom (right before doing subtraction).

I tried to line up the numbers another way and I got the right answer, so yes, I lined up the numbers wrong the first time. Thank you.
