We divide 868903 by 251
We want to divide 868903 by 251.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 251, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 86 / 251

On to step 2:
86 divided by 251 is 0 with a remainder of 86.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 86 leaves us with 86.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 86 and continue with: 868 / 251

On to step 3:
868 divided by 251 is 3 with a remainder of 115.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 753 from 868 leaves us with 115.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 115, then carry on: 1159 / 251

On to step 4:
The number 251 fits into 1159 4 times, leaving a remainder of 155.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Deduct 1004 from 1159 and we're left with 155.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 155, then repeat: 1550 / 251

Let's proceed to step 5:
251 can be fit into 1550 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 346.0
If we subtract 1506 from 1550, we get 44.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 443 / 251

Step 6:
If we divide 443 by 251, we get 1 and a remainder of 192.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3461.0
The remainder is 192 after subtracting 251 from 443.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 1920 by 251, we get 7 with a remainder of 163.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3461.7
Deduct 1757 from 1920 and we're left with 163.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1630, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 251 fits into 1630 6 times, leaving a remainder of 124.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3461.76
The remainder is 124 after subtracting 1506 from 1630.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
1240 divided by 251 is 4 with a remainder of 236.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3461.764
If we take 1004 away from 1240, we end up with 236.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
251 goes into 2360 9 times with a remainder of 101.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3461.7649
If we take 2259 away from 2360, we end up with 101.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1010, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
251 goes into 1010 4 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3461.76494
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 1004 from 1010.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
251 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3461.76494
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 600 by 251, we get 2 with a remainder of 98.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3461.7649402
If we take 502 away from 600, we end up with 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 980 by 251, we get 3 with a remainder of 227.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3461.76494023
If we take 753 away from 980, we end up with 227.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2270, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3461.76494023, and the remainder is 2.27e-07.
