16786224 ÷ 257 
Our goal is to divide 16786224 by 257.

Step 1:
The number 257 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 257

Moving on to step 2:
The number 257 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 167 / 257

On to step 3:
The number 257 fits into 167 0 times, leaving a remainder of 167.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 167, we get 167.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 167 and continue: 1678 / 257

Step 4:
257 goes into 1678 6 times with a remainder of 136.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 136 after subtracting 1542 from 1678.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 136 and repeat the process: 1366 / 257

Moving on to step 5:
1366 divided by 257 is 5 with a remainder of 81.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 65.0
If we subtract 1285 from 1366, we get 81.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 81, then repeat: 812 / 257

Step 6:
When dividing 812 by 257, we get 3 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 653.0
If we take 771 away from 812, we end up with 41.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 412 / 257

Advancing to step 7:
412 divided by 257 is 1 with a remainder of 155.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6531.0
The remainder is 155 after subtracting 257 from 412.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 155 and continue with: 1554 / 257

Going ahead to step 8:
257 can be fit into 1554 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 65316.0
Subtracting 1542 from 1554 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 120 by 257, we get 0 with a remainder of 120.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 65316.0
Deduct 0 from 120 and we're left with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
1200 divided by 257 is 4 with a remainder of 172.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 65316.04
The remainder is 172 after subtracting 1028 from 1200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 257 fits into 1720 6 times, leaving a remainder of 178.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 65316.046
Subtracting 1542 from 1720 leaves us with 178.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1780, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
1780 divided by 257 is 6 with a remainder of 238.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 65316.0466
Deduct 1542 from 1780 and we're left with 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 65316.0466 with a balance of 0.00238.
