Let's divide 35615487 by 261
We're looking to find how many times 261 goes into 35615487.

Step 1:
3 divided by 261 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 35 / 261

Let's proceed to step 2:
261 goes into 35 0 times with a remainder of 35.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 0 from 35.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 356 / 261

Advancing to step 3:
261 goes into 356 1 times with a remainder of 95.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 261 from 356 leaves us with 95.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 95, then repeat: 951 / 261

On to step 4:
If we divide 951 by 261, we get 3 and a remainder of 168.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 783 from 951 to get 168.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 168 and continue: 1685 / 261

On to step 5:
1685 divided by 261 is 6 with a remainder of 119.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 136.0
If we take 1566 away from 1685, we end up with 119.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 119, then carry on: 1194 / 261

Advancing to step 6:
261 can be fit into 1194 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 150.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1364.0
The remainder is 150 after subtracting 1044 from 1194.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 150 and continue with: 1508 / 261

Step 7:
If we divide 1508 by 261, we get 5 and a remainder of 203.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 13645.0
The remainder is 203 after subtracting 1305 from 1508.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 203 and repeat the process: 2037 / 261

Going ahead to step 8:
261 goes into 2037 7 times with a remainder of 210.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 136457.0
Deduct 1827 from 2037 and we're left with 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
261 goes into 2100 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 136457.8
Subtract 2088 from 2100 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 120 by 261, we get 0 with a remainder of 120.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 136457.8
If we take 0 away from 120, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 261 fits into 1200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 156.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 136457.804
If we subtract 1044 from 1200, we get 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 1560 by 261, we get 5 and a remainder of 255.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 136457.8045
The remainder is 255 after subtracting 1305 from 1560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 2550 by 261, we get 9 and a remainder of 201.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 136457.80459
If we subtract 2349 from 2550, we get 201.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2010, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 261 fits into 2010 7 times, leaving a remainder of 183.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 136457.804597
If we subtract 1827 from 2010, we get 183.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1830, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
261 can be fit into 1830 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 136457.8045977
Subtract 1827 from 1830 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 136457.8045977 and a remainder of 3e-08.
