To divide 300 by 8 vertically, follow these steps:

1. Write \( 300 \div 8 \) with 300 under a division symbol and 8 outside.
2. Start dividing from the leftmost digit of 300.

Here's the breakdown:

\[
\begin{array}{r|l}
 & 37 \text{ R4} \\
8 & 300 \\
 & -24 \\
 & \underline{ \ \ 60} \\
 & -56 \\
 & \underline{ \ \ 4} \\
\end{array}
\]

### Steps:
1. **Divide 30 by 8:** 8 fits into 30 three times (3). Write 3 above 0.
   - \(3 \times 8 = 24\); write 24 under 30, then subtract: \(30 - 24 = 6\).
2. **Bring down the next digit (0):** Now you have 60.
3. **Divide 60 by 8:** 8 fits into 60 seven times (7). Write 7 next to the 3.
   - \(7 \times 8 = 56\); write 56 under 60, then subtract: \(60 - 56 = 4\).

So, \(300 \div 8 = 37\) with a remainder of \(4\), or \(37 \text{ R4}\). Alternatively, as a decimal, this would be \(37.5\).

Here are some additional questions to consider:
1. How would you interpret a remainder when dividing larger numbers?
2. What happens if we want to convert the remainder to a decimal in this division?
3. Can you express this division as a fraction and simplify it?
4. How would you perform similar calculations with decimals involved?
5. Can you apply long division to calculate larger numbers?

**Tip:** In long division, always check each step carefully, especially with the remainder, to avoid simple mistakes.
