We divide 31814084 by 261
Our goal is to divide 31814084 by 261.

Step 1:
261 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 261

Let's proceed to step 2:
261 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 318 / 261

Moving on to step 3:
The number 261 fits into 318 1 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 261 from 318 and we're left with 57.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 57, then carry on: 571 / 261

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 571 by 261, we get 2 with a remainder of 49.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 522 from 571.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 494 / 261

Step 5:
261 goes into 494 1 times with a remainder of 233.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 121.0
Subtracting 261 from 494 leaves us with 233.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 233 and continue with: 2330 / 261

On to step 6:
If we divide 2330 by 261, we get 8 and a remainder of 242.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1218.0
If we subtract 2088 from 2330, we get 242.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 242, then carry on: 2428 / 261

On to step 7:
261 can be fit into 2428 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 79.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12189.0
If we subtract 2349 from 2428, we get 79.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 79 and continue: 794 / 261

On to step 8:
The number 261 fits into 794 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 121893.0
Subtract 783 from 794 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 9:
261 can be fit into 110 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 110.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121893.0
If we take 0 away from 110, we end up with 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 1100 by 261, we get 4 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 121893.04
If we subtract 1044 from 1100, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 560 by 261, we get 2 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 121893.042
Subtract 522 from 560 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 380 by 261, we get 1 and a remainder of 119.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121893.0421
If we take 261 away from 380, we end up with 119.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1190, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 1190 by 261, we get 4 with a remainder of 146.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 121893.04214
The remainder is 146 after subtracting 1044 from 1190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 1460 by 261, we get 5 and a remainder of 155.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 121893.042145
The remainder is 155 after subtracting 1305 from 1460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
261 goes into 1550 5 times with a remainder of 245.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 121893.0421455
Deduct 1305 from 1550 and we're left with 245.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2450, and continue the process.

The final result is 121893.0421455 with a remainder of 2.45e-06.
