It's also the same in that it gives a remainder if the process doesn't come out evenly. Other than that, it's different in ways that make sense if you understand arithmetic long division. It's a little hard to present in the text available on Y!A, so definitely check out the link. As for "real" life examples. Hmmm. Aren't math classes real life?
