The Wikipedia article on long division explains the different notations. I still use the European notation I learned in elementary school in Colombia. I had difficulty adapting to the US/UK notation when I moved to the US. However, I did enjoy seeing my classmates' puzzled faces in college whenever we had a professor that preferred the European notation.

What long division notation do you use and where did you learn it?
