Algorithm 1: Long Division

Step 1: Divide the first digit of the dividend (3) by the divisor (7). Since 3 is less than 7, we bring down the next digit (5) to form the new dividend, which becomes 35. Step 2: Divide the new dividend (35) by the divisor (7). 35 divided by 7 equals 5. Step 3: Write the quotient (5) above the line. Step 4: Multiply the quotient (5) by the divisor (7) and subtract the result from the new dividend (35). 35 - (5 * 7) = 0. Step 5: Since the new dividend is 0, the division is complete. Answer: 355 ÷ 7 = 5.

Algorithm 2: Repeated Subtraction

Step 1: Start with the dividend (355) and subtract the divisor (7) repeatedly until the result is less than the divisor. 355 - 7 = 348 348 - 7 = 341 341 - 7 = 334 … 27 - 7 = 20 20 - 7 = 13 13 - 7 = 6 6 - 7 = -1

Step 2: Count the number of times the subtraction was performed. In this case, it was performed 50 times. Answer: 355 ÷ 7 = 50.
