I am suspicious of it because it seems to mire the situation with division in which there isn't an integer answer, whereas the traditional long division method provides an intuitive method for extracting digits beyond the decimal.
But the method presented is simple and easy to remember. Seems like a simplicity vs. efficiency debate.
