A cavalry sergeant has 24 horses available which he needs to put on 6 carriages. So he needs to divide 24 by 6. He does the following calculation, based on knowing that 6 will go into 24 at least once, and that 6 times 3 is eighteen.

$24 / 6 = 13.$

$\ 6$

$18$

After considerable difficulty with implementing his solution he consults his lieutenant. The lieutenant checks the calculation:

$13 * 6$

$18$

$\ 6$

24

Implementation of the result still remains elusive so they consult the colonel, who uses a different method to check:

13

13

13

13

In adding this up, the colonel arrives at the following sequence of intermediate results: 3,6,9,12,15,18,19,20,21,22,23,24.

A cavalry sergeant has 24 horses available which he needs to put on 6 carriages. So he needs to divide 24 by 6. He figures that 6 will go into 24 at least once, so he puts down a 1. Subtracting 6 from 24, he gets 18, and he remembers that 18/6=3. So he comes up with the answer 13.

After considerable difficulty with implementing his solution he consults his lieutenant. The lieutenant checks the calculation by evaluating 13*6:

36=18 16=6

Add them: 24.

Implementation of the result still remains elusive so they consult the colonel, who uses a different method to check. Write down 13 six times and add.
