There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

Using long division to determine what 1200 divided by 45 is may be illustrated as follows:

-

26.6

---------

45|1200.0

90

------

300

270

------

30 0...

27 0

------

30...

in words:

* 45 does not go into 1 or 12, but goes into 120 twice.

* Subtract 2 * 45 (90) from 120 to get 30

* Bring down the 0 after 120 and append to the 30 to get 300

* 45 goes into 300 six times

* Subtract 6 * 45 (270) from 300 to get 30

* Since there are no more digits and there is no decimal point, add a decimal point and a 0 after the decimal point

* Bring down the 0 after the decimal point and append to the 30 to get 300

* 45 goes into 300 six times

* Subtract 6 * 45 (270) from 300 to get 30

* Since there are no more digits and there IS a decimal point, add a 0 after the last number (now, a zero)

* Bring down the 0 after the decimal point and append to the 30 to get 300

* Rinse, wash and repeat - the answer is a rational repeater of 26.666...
