46471271 ÷ 261 
We want to divide 46471271 by 261.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 261 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 261

On to step 2:
46 divided by 261 is 0 with a remainder of 46.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 46, we get 46.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 464 / 261

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 464 by 261, we get 1 with a remainder of 203.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 261 from 464 and we're left with 203.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 203 and continue: 2037 / 261

Let's proceed to step 4:
261 can be fit into 2037 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 210.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 1827 away from 2037, we end up with 210.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 210, then carry on: 2101 / 261

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 261 fits into 2101 8 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 178.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 2088 from 2101.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 132 / 261

Step 6:
261 goes into 132 0 times with a remainder of 132.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1780.0
If we take 0 away from 132, we end up with 132.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 132 and repeat the process: 1327 / 261

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 1327 by 261, we get 5 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17805.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 1305 from 1327.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 221 / 261

On to step 8:
261 can be fit into 221 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 221.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 178050.0
Deduct 0 from 221 and we're left with 221.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2210, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 2210 by 261, we get 8 and a remainder of 122.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 178050.8
If we take 2088 away from 2210, we end up with 122.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
1220 divided by 261 is 4 with a remainder of 176.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 178050.84
If we take 1044 away from 1220, we end up with 176.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 1760 by 261, we get 6 with a remainder of 194.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 178050.846
Subtract 1566 from 1760 to get 194.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1940, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
1940 divided by 261 is 7 with a remainder of 113.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178050.8467
Subtract 1827 from 1940 to get 113.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 1130 by 261, we get 4 and a remainder of 86.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 178050.84674
Subtract 1044 from 1130 to get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 261 fits into 860 3 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178050.846743
Subtract 783 from 860 to get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
The number 261 fits into 770 2 times, leaving a remainder of 248.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 178050.8467432
Subtracting 522 from 770 leaves us with 248.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
2480 divided by 261 is 9 with a remainder of 131.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 178050.84674329
If we take 2349 away from 2480, we end up with 131.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1310, and continue the process.

Our division results in 178050.84674329 with a remaining 1.31e-07.
