The dividend must +be a positive decimal number and the divisor must be a positive integer. +Correctly handles repeating decimals, putting a bar over the repeated part of +the decimal. Handles dividends up to 20 digits long gracefully (though the +typeset result will take up about a page) and dividends between 20 and 60 +digits long slightly less gracefully. + +Defines macros \longdivision and \intlongdivision. Each takes two arguments, +a dividend and divisor. \longdivision keeps dividing until the remainder is +zero, or it encounters a repeated remainder. \longdivision stops when the +dividend stops (though the dividend doesn't have to be an integer). + +\intlongdivision behaves similarly to the \longdiv command defined in +longdiv.tex, though I think \intlongdivision looks better, and it can handle +much larger dividends and divisors (the dividend is only constrained by the +size of the page, and the divisor can be up to 8 digits long). + +See the package manual for more information. + +Email me at hood@mit.edu to submit bug reports, request new features, etc. +The current development copy is hosted at https://github.com/hoodmane/longdivision. + + +Changelog: +========== + +## [1.1.0] (2018-10-08) +### Fixed: +- If the "\longdivision" command is in math mode, the numbers are typeset in math mode too (reported by Yu-Tsiang Tai). +- The "\longdivision" command now can handle macros as arguments (as suggested by Mike Jenck). + +### Added: +- Multiple typesetting styles +- Multiple styles for indicating a repeating decimal +- Typesetting partial long division (as suggested by Cameron McLeman). + + +## [1.0.0] (2017-02-05) + |
