the question reads: 4five divided 134five

I know that if I times 2 by 4 it gives me 8 and the eight converted to base five is 1 with a remainder of three which leaves me with the 4 of the 134. I don't know what to do with that 4. If I multiply the 4 by 1 it gives me just a 4 and that cant be coverted into base five. But the 4 can be multiplied by 1 which would give me 4.

Would my final answer be 21five?

Is there a writing tool so that I can write out the actual problem? I don't see a pencil icon anywhere.
