Confused as to where to report personal use with sale of my rental home

How do I report the personal use portion of selling my rental home that I previously lived in? I do not qualify for the capital gains exclusion. I rented it out for the last 8 years and lived in it for 18 yrs. before that.

If you were depreciating the house as two separate rentals or two assets of the same rental unit, allocate the selling price as a ratio of the space. In other words, if you rented half and had lived in half, split the selling price 50-50.
