We're dividing 264871 by 75 
We want to divide 264871 by 75.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 75 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 75

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 75, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 264 / 75

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 264 by 75, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 225 from 264 to get 39.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 398 / 75

Let's proceed to step 4:
75 goes into 398 5 times with a remainder of 23.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 375 from 398.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 237 / 75

Step 5:
If we divide 237 by 75, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 353.0
If we subtract 225 from 237, we get 12.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 121 / 75

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 75 fits into 121 1 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3531.0
If we subtract 75 from 121, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
460 divided by 75 is 6 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3531.6
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 450 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
75 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3531.61
Subtract 75 from 100 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 9:
75 goes into 250 3 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3531.613
Deduct 225 from 250 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 75 fits into 250 3 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3531.6133
Subtracting 225 from 250 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3531.6133 with a remaining 0.00025.
