We look at the division of 259973 by 221 
Let's see how many times 221 fits into 259973.

On to step 1:
The number 221 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 221

On to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 221, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 259 / 221

Moving on to step 3:
221 goes into 259 1 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 221 from 259 to get 38.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 389 / 221

Moving on to step 4:
The number 221 fits into 389 1 times, leaving a remainder of 168.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 221 from 389 and we're left with 168.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 168, then repeat: 1687 / 221

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 1687 by 221, we get 7 with a remainder of 140.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 117.0
Deduct 1547 from 1687 and we're left with 140.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 140, then repeat: 1403 / 221

On to step 6:
If we divide 1403 by 221, we get 6 and a remainder of 77.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1176.0
Subtract 1326 from 1403 to get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 221 fits into 770 3 times, leaving a remainder of 107.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1176.3
The remainder is 107 after subtracting 663 from 770.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1070, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 1070 by 221, we get 4 and a remainder of 186.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1176.34
The remainder is 186 after subtracting 884 from 1070.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1860, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
221 can be fit into 1860 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 92.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1176.348
Subtracting 1768 from 1860 leaves us with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
221 goes into 920 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1176.3484
If we subtract 884 from 920, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 360 by 221, we get 1 and a remainder of 139.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1176.34841
Subtracting 221 from 360 leaves us with 139.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1390, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
221 can be fit into 1390 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1176.348416
Subtracting 1326 from 1390 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
640 divided by 221 is 2 with a remainder of 198.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1176.3484162
If we take 442 away from 640, we end up with 198.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1980, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
221 can be fit into 1980 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 212.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1176.34841628
The remainder is 212 after subtracting 1768 from 1980.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2120, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1176.34841628, and the remainder is 2.12e-07.
