14987862 ÷ 261 
Let's see how many times 261 fits into 14987862.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 261, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 261

Going ahead to step 2:
14 divided by 261 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 149 / 261

Advancing to step 3:
261 can be fit into 149 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 149.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 149, we get 149.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 149 and continue: 1498 / 261

Let's proceed to step 4:
261 can be fit into 1498 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 193.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 1305 from 1498 leaves us with 193.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 193 and repeat the process: 1937 / 261

On to step 5:
261 goes into 1937 7 times with a remainder of 110.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we take 1827 away from 1937, we end up with 110.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 110, then repeat: 1108 / 261

Going ahead to step 6:
1108 divided by 261 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 574.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 1044 from 1108.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 646 / 261

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 646 by 261, we get 2 and a remainder of 124.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5742.0
Subtract 522 from 646 to get 124.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 124, then carry on: 1242 / 261

On to step 8:
261 can be fit into 1242 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 198.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 57424.0
Subtract 1044 from 1242 to get 198.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1980, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 1980 by 261, we get 7 and a remainder of 153.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57424.7
If we take 1827 away from 1980, we end up with 153.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1530, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
261 goes into 1530 5 times with a remainder of 225.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57424.75
If we take 1305 away from 1530, we end up with 225.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 261 fits into 2250 8 times, leaving a remainder of 162.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 57424.758
If we take 2088 away from 2250, we end up with 162.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 261 fits into 1620 6 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57424.7586
Subtracting 1566 from 1620 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 13:
540 divided by 261 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57424.75862
If we take 522 away from 540, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
180 divided by 261 is 0 with a remainder of 180.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57424.75862
If we subtract 0 from 180, we get 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
The number 261 fits into 1800 6 times, leaving a remainder of 234.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57424.7586206
If we subtract 1566 from 1800, we get 234.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
261 goes into 2340 8 times with a remainder of 252.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57424.75862068
If we subtract 2088 from 2340, we get 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 57424.75862068 and a remainder of 2.52e-07.
