New Division?

I was informed at dinner tonight that there is a new way to perform division, and for that matter, a new way to perform multiplication.

Mind = blown.

In the inimitable words of J.Fu: why the fuck was this necessary?

  4. I don't always do division on paper, but when I do, I use Excel. That really doesn't make any sense, but then again, I'm pretty sure I've mostly forgotten the 'original' ways of doing division and multiplication anyway. Curse you technology.
