Let's divide 272431 by 13
Let's see how many times 13 fits into 272431.

Advancing to step 1:
13 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 13

On to step 2:
27 divided by 13 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 26 from 27, we get 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 13

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 12 by 13, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 124 / 13

Advancing to step 4:
The number 13 fits into 124 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 209.0
Subtract 117 from 124 to get 7.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 73 / 13

Moving on to step 5:
73 divided by 13 is 5 with a remainder of 8.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2095.0
Subtract 65 from 73 to get 8.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 81 / 13

Step 6:
When dividing 81 by 13, we get 6 with a remainder of 3.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20956.0
If we subtract 78 from 81, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 30 by 13, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20956.2
If we take 26 away from 30, 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 8:
13 goes into 40 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20956.23
Subtract 39 from 40 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 10 by 13, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20956.23
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left 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 10:
100 divided by 13 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20956.2307
Deduct 91 from 100 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
90 divided by 13 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20956.23076
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 78 from 90.
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 12:
When dividing 120 by 13, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 20956.230769
Subtract 117 from 120 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 13 fits into 30 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20956.2307692
Deduct 26 from 30 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
The number 13 fits into 40 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20956.23076923
If we take 39 away from 40, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 20956.23076923 and a remainder of 1e-09.
