257973 ÷ 14 
Our goal is to divide 257973 by 14.

Step 1:
14 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 14

Advancing to step 2:
14 can be fit into 25 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 14 from 25, we get 11.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 117 / 14

Let's proceed to step 3:
14 can be fit into 117 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 112 from 117.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 14

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 14 fits into 59 4 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 184.0
Subtract 56 from 59 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 14

Step 5:
If we divide 37 by 14, we get 2 and a remainder of 9.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1842.0
If we take 28 away from 37, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 93 / 14

On to step 6:
93 divided by 14 is 6 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18426.0
Deduct 84 from 93 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
14 can be fit into 90 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18426.6
Subtract 84 from 90 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
60 divided by 14 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18426.64
If we subtract 56 from 60, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
40 divided by 14 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18426.642
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.

On to step 10:
120 divided by 14 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18426.6428
Deduct 112 from 120 and we're left 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.

Step 11:
The number 14 fits into 80 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18426.64285
Subtract 70 from 80 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
14 goes into 100 7 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 18426.642857
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 98 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 14 fits into 20 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18426.6428571
Subtracting 14 from 20 leaves us 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.

Step 14:
14 goes into 60 4 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18426.64285714
If we subtract 56 from 60, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 18426.64285714, with a leftover of 4e-09.
