It isn't an equation but a process much the same as long division. Due to
the restrictions of the keyboard it would be difficult to reproduce here but
I will do an example and mail it to you.

I hope I didn't give the impression that technology isn't a blessing. It
indeed is and is inevitable. I use a TI-86 and an HP48GX with regularity and
wouldn't want to be without them just as I wouldn't want to be without the
computer I sit in front of now. My point was that I wouldn't want to be
without the ability to work the math with a pencil and paper either.
