Let's divide 12187024 by 254
Our goal is to divide 12187024 by 254.

Moving on to step 1:
254 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 254

On to step 2:
12 divided by 254 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 121 / 254

Moving on to step 3:
254 goes into 121 0 times with a remainder of 121.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 121, we get 121.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 121, then repeat: 1218 / 254

On to step 4:
The number 254 fits into 1218 4 times, leaving a remainder of 202.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 1016 from 1218 and we're left with 202.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 202, then carry on: 2027 / 254

Advancing to step 5:
254 can be fit into 2027 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 249.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 1778 away from 2027, we end up with 249.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 249 and continue: 2490 / 254

Advancing to step 6:
The number 254 fits into 2490 9 times, leaving a remainder of 204.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 479.0
Subtract 2286 from 2490 to get 204.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 204, then carry on: 2042 / 254

Let's proceed to step 7:
254 goes into 2042 8 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4798.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 2032 from 2042.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 104 / 254

On to step 8:
When dividing 104 by 254, we get 0 with a remainder of 104.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47980.0
Deduct 0 from 104 and we're left with 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
1040 divided by 254 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47980.4
Subtracting 1016 from 1040 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
254 can be fit into 240 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 240.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47980.4
If we take 0 away from 240, we end up with 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
254 can be fit into 2400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 114.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47980.409
The remainder is 114 after subtracting 2286 from 2400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 254 fits into 1140 4 times, leaving a remainder of 124.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47980.4094
Deduct 1016 from 1140 and we're left with 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 1240 by 254, we get 4 with a remainder of 224.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47980.40944
Subtract 1016 from 1240 to get 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 47980.40944 and a remainder of 0.000224.
