<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 362, we need to group it as 62 and 3.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now we need to find n whose square is<a>less than</a>or equal to 3. We can say n as ‘1’ because 1 x 1 = 1 is lesser than or equal to 3. Now the<a>quotient</a>is 1 after subtracting 1 from 3, the<a>remainder</a>is 2.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now let us bring down 62 which is the new<a>dividend</a>. Add the old<a>divisor</a>with the same number: 1 + 1 = 2, which will be our new divisor.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>The new divisor will be the<a>sum</a>of the last divisor and quotient. Now we get 2n as the new divisor, we need to find the value of n.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>The next step is finding 2n × n ≤ 262. Let us consider n as 9, now 29 x 9 = 261.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 261 from 262, the difference is 1, and the quotient is 19.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 261 from 262, the difference is 1, and the quotient is 19.</p>

<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we need to add a decimal point. Adding the decimal point allows us to add two zeroes to the dividend. Now the new dividend is 100.</p>
