1538974 divided by 268 
We want to divide 1538974 by 268.

Step 1:
The number 268 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 268

On to step 2:
The number 268 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 15 and we're left with 15.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 153 / 268

Step 3:
153 divided by 268 is 0 with a remainder of 153.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 153, we get 153.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 153 and continue with: 1538 / 268

Advancing to step 4:
268 can be fit into 1538 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 198.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 1340 from 1538, we get 198.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 198 and continue with: 1989 / 268

Moving on to step 5:
268 goes into 1989 7 times with a remainder of 113.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we subtract 1876 from 1989, we get 113.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 113 and continue with: 1137 / 268

On to step 6:
If we divide 1137 by 268, we get 4 and a remainder of 65.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 574.0
If we take 1072 away from 1137, we end up with 65.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 65 and continue: 654 / 268

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 268 fits into 654 2 times, leaving a remainder of 118.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5742.0
Subtracting 536 from 654 leaves us with 118.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
1180 divided by 268 is 4 with a remainder of 108.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5742.4
The remainder is 108 after subtracting 1072 from 1180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 1080 by 268, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5742.44
Deduct 1072 from 1080 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.

Our division results in 5742.44 with a remaining 0.008.
