We look at the division of 16487732 by 261 
We want to figure out the number of times 16487732 can be divided by 261.

Advancing to step 1:
261 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 261

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 16 by 261, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 164 / 261

On to step 3:
261 goes into 164 0 times with a remainder of 164.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 164, we end up with 164.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 164 and continue: 1648 / 261

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 1648 by 261, we get 6 with a remainder of 82.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 1566 from 1648 to get 82.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 82, then repeat: 827 / 261

Step 5:
If we divide 827 by 261, we get 3 and a remainder of 44.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 63.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 783 from 827.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 447 / 261

On to step 6:
The number 261 fits into 447 1 times, leaving a remainder of 186.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 631.0
If we subtract 261 from 447, we get 186.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 186 and continue with: 1863 / 261

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 1863 by 261, we get 7 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6317.0
Subtract 1827 from 1863 to get 36.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 362 / 261

Step 8:
261 can be fit into 362 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 101.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 63171.0
Subtract 261 from 362 to get 101.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1010, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
261 can be fit into 1010 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 227.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 63171.3
If we subtract 783 from 1010, we get 227.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 261 fits into 2270 8 times, leaving a remainder of 182.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 63171.38
If we take 2088 away from 2270, we end up with 182.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1820, and continue the process.

Step 11:
261 goes into 1820 6 times with a remainder of 254.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63171.386
The remainder is 254 after subtracting 1566 from 1820.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 2540 by 261, we get 9 and a remainder of 191.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 63171.3869
If we take 2349 away from 2540, we end up with 191.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1910, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 1910 by 261, we get 7 with a remainder of 83.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 63171.38697
Subtracting 1827 from 1910 leaves us with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 830 by 261, we get 3 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63171.386973
Subtracting 783 from 830 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
If we divide 470 by 261, we get 1 and a remainder of 209.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 63171.3869731
If we subtract 261 from 470, we get 209.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2090, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
When dividing 2090 by 261, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 63171.38697318
If we subtract 2088 from 2090, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 63171.38697318 and a remainder of 2e-09.
