Okay, I'm an mechanical engineer and I really don't understand this sollution. How can 1023 minus 920 be 1035??????
Downright stupid if you ask me. But maybe I don't understand how it is put down. Please enlighten me.

Timstone, you've been using computers so long you've forgotten how to do long division.

1023 minus 920 is not 1035, it's 103. The 5 is brought down from the original number so you can do the next step in the process.
