Re: How do you divide?

Yes, David is correct, but here's the correct markup (it's even simpler):

<mlongdiv longdivstyle="shortstackedrightright">
 <mn> 435,3</mn>
 <mn> 3 </mn>
 <mn> 1306</mn>
 <msgroup position="1" shift="-1">
     <mn> 10</mn>
     <mn> 16</mn>
     <msrow position='-1'> <mn> 1,0</mn> </msrow>
     <mn> 1</mn>
 </msgroup>
</mlongdiv>
