We divide 54500847 by 261
We want to figure out the number of times 54500847 can be divided by 261.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 261 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 261

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 261 fits into 54 0 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 0 from 54.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 545 / 261

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 545 by 261, we get 2 with a remainder of 23.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 522 from 545.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 230 / 261

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 261 fits into 230 0 times, leaving a remainder of 230.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 230 and we're left with 230.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 230, then repeat: 2300 / 261

On to step 5:
2300 divided by 261 is 8 with a remainder of 212.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 208.0
The remainder is 212 after subtracting 2088 from 2300.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 212 and continue with: 2128 / 261

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 261 fits into 2128 8 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2088.0
If we take 2088 away from 2128, we end up with 40.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 404 / 261

Going ahead to step 7:
404 divided by 261 is 1 with a remainder of 143.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20881.0
If we take 261 away from 404, we end up with 143.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 143, then repeat: 1437 / 261

Going ahead to step 8:
1437 divided by 261 is 5 with a remainder of 132.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 208815.0
Subtract 1305 from 1437 to get 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Step 9:
1320 divided by 261 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 208815.5
If we take 1305 away from 1320, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 261 fits into 150 0 times, leaving a remainder of 150.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 208815.5
If we take 0 away from 150, we end up with 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1500, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 1500 by 261, we get 5 and a remainder of 195.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 208815.505
If we subtract 1305 from 1500, we get 195.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1950, and continue the process.

Step 12:
261 can be fit into 1950 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 123.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 208815.5057
If we take 1827 away from 1950, we end up with 123.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1230, and continue the process.

Step 13:
261 can be fit into 1230 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 186.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 208815.50574
The remainder is 186 after subtracting 1044 from 1230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
1860 divided by 261 is 7 with a remainder of 33.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 208815.505747
If we subtract 1827 from 1860, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 330 by 261, we get 1 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 208815.5057471
If we take 261 away from 330, we end up with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 16:
When dividing 690 by 261, we get 2 with a remainder of 168.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 208815.50574712
Subtracting 522 from 690 leaves us with 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

Our division results in 208815.50574712 with a remaining 1.68e-07.
