Interestingly, here in Canada, kids are no longer taught long division. When I was in highschool, we were taught to use slide rules, but not very seriously. And I would imagine, nobody gets taught how to use trigonometry tables anymore (at least I hope so). So, these days, you learn arithmetic very differently because calculators exist.

It's been ages since I long divided lol.... I might not even remember it anymore.

I'd probably do some hacky ass binary search or something (at least for easy integers)
