Let's divide 261873 by 14
We want to figure out the number of times 261873 can be divided by 14.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 14 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 14

Advancing to step 2:
The number 14 fits into 26 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 14 from 26.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 121 / 14

Advancing to step 3:
14 can be fit into 121 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 112 from 121 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 14

Moving on to step 4:
98 divided by 14 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 187.0
If we take 98 away from 98, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 14

On to step 5:
14 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1870.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 73 / 14

On to step 6:
14 can be fit into 73 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18705.0
If we take 70 away from 73, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 14, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18705.2
Subtracting 28 from 30 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 14 fits into 20 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18705.21
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 14 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 60 by 14, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18705.214
If we take 56 away from 60, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 14, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18705.2142
Subtracting 28 from 40 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
14 goes into 120 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18705.21428
If we take 112 away from 120, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
80 divided by 14 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18705.214285
Subtracting 70 from 80 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 100 by 14, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18705.2142857
If we take 98 away from 100, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
20 divided by 14 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18705.21428571
If we take 14 away from 20, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 18705.21428571 with a balance of 6e-09.
