Let's divide 3226871 by 508
We want to figure out the number of times 3226871 can be divided by 508.

On to step 1:
508 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 32 / 508

Going ahead to step 2:
32 divided by 508 is 0 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 32 to get 32.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 322 / 508

Step 3:
322 divided by 508 is 0 with a remainder of 322.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 322 and we're left with 322.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 322 and continue: 3226 / 508

Step 4:
When dividing 3226 by 508, we get 6 with a remainder of 178.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 3048 from 3226 to get 178.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 178, then repeat: 1788 / 508

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 508 fits into 1788 3 times, leaving a remainder of 264.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 63.0
If we subtract 1524 from 1788, we get 264.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 264 and repeat the process: 2647 / 508

Going ahead to step 6:
508 goes into 2647 5 times with a remainder of 107.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 635.0
If we take 2540 away from 2647, we end up with 107.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 107, then repeat: 1071 / 508

On to step 7:
If we divide 1071 by 508, we get 2 and a remainder of 55.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6352.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 1016 from 1071.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 550 by 508, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6352.1
Subtracting 508 from 550 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
508 goes into 420 0 times with a remainder of 420.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6352.1
Subtract 0 from 420 to get 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 4200 by 508, we get 8 with a remainder of 136.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6352.108
If we take 4064 away from 4200, we end up with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 1360 by 508, we get 2 and a remainder of 344.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6352.1082
Subtracting 1016 from 1360 leaves us with 344.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3440, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 3440 by 508, we get 6 and a remainder of 392.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6352.10826
Subtract 3048 from 3440 to get 392.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 3920 by 508, we get 7 with a remainder of 364.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6352.108267
If we subtract 3556 from 3920, we get 364.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
508 can be fit into 3640 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6352.1082677
If we subtract 3556 from 3640, we get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

The final result is 6352.1082677 with a remainder of 8.4e-07.
