3. Perform Long Division:
- Divide 21 by 7: $21 \div 7 = 3$. Write down 3 as the first digit of the quotient.
- Multiply 3 by 7: $3 \times 7 = 21$. Subtract 21 from 21, which is 0.
- Bring down the next digit, 5. We have 05, or 5.
- Divide 5 by 7: $5 \div 7 = 0$ with a remainder of 5. Write down 0 as the second digit of the quotient.
- Multiply 0 by 7: $0 \times 7 = 0$. Subtract 0 from 5, which is 5.
- Bring down the next digit, 6. We have 56.
- Divide 56 by 7: $56 \div 7 = 8$. Write down 8 as the third digit of the quotient.
- Multiply 8 by 7: $8 \times 7 = 56$. Subtract 56 from 56, which is 0.
