Ruby you saved the day ^^ i never thought google could do such things. is tehre anything it can´t do? (besides making a sandwich <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)
But google's best thing is infact it's simplicity. It's nice to have a <1 second load time without all the BS graphics and links and spam. (hence why www.google.com is my homepage on my browser) Compare google with yahoo for instance.

oh, and yeah why do start+run when you can windows+r then calc? not to mention going to properties in the calc and turning it to scientific
[edit] come to think of it why did you need this calculated anyways?
Reminds me of the time I was stuck in class taking a math test so I went on IRC and asked a bunch of people for help >_< [/edit]

The process is exactly the same as long division and lets you divide numbers based upon how well you know your low end multiplication tables.
You can also try another method. (showing my age)
Lets say you have a table of logarithms. Then you can try this mathmatical trick.
What is 53/17 ? Use a property of logs. 53/17 = x ln(53/17) = ln(53)-ln(17) = ln(x) Therefore 53/17 = ln(53) - ln(17) = ln(x) ln-1(x) to get your answer.
It reduces a pretty ugly division problem into a simple subtraction problem and a log table lookup.
Thats how you did math back in the day before calculators.
