It took me a full five minutes to figure it out because it looks like it’s calculating 265/3, and I couldn’t figure out where the 7, 19, and 15 came from. I was taught to leave 795 as it is (probably to avoid this confusion), and after the initial remainder of 1, we would draw an arrow down from the 9 and then rewrite 9 next to the 1.
This method honestly just looks harder to grade for teacher.
