I suggest that you learn long division but don't use it for linear divisors.
Use synthetic division instead: http://www.purplemath.com/modules/synthdiv.htm
It's a great time saver, as it provides both the dividend and remainder, as with long division. It works for all divisors, however it's only a time saver for linear divisors and you won't find anybody to teach it for quadratic and higher divisors anyway. That is: use normal long division for quadratic divisors.
Cheers.
