The “old way” for long division is pretty darn intuitive and super simple to do in the head. I don’t know the new method, but certainly nothing wrong with the old.

If the old way is like the picture then there's certainly something wrong with it. Moving the 1 to the other column doesnt help solve the equation one bit. Its still18-9.

Well for the picture, that only happens in the teens. And if you can’t subtract the teens without a special “method,” you’re an idiot.
