A small Python CLI app of the "divison beads" math education tool.

"Division beads" are a concept I came up with to visualize divison. A string of beads is laid out in a rectangular area. The quotient and remainder can be found through simple counting. For example:

$ python3 -m divisionbeads
Enter a division problem (example: 23 / 7) or QUIT.
> 23 / 7

23 / 7 = 3 r 2

 ├─────7─────┤

 O─O─O─O─O─O─O┐ ┬
┌O─O─O─O─O─O─O┘ 3
└O─O─O─O─O─O─O┐ ┴
           O─O┘

           ├2┤

Enter a division problem (example: 23 / 7) or QUIT.
> 40 / 10

40 / 10 = 4 r 0

 ├────────10───────┤

 O─O─O─O─O─O─O─O─O─O┐ ┬

Enter a division problem (example: 23 / 7) or QUIT.
> 42 / 10

42 / 10 = 4 r 2
