Let's divide 1296754 by 406
We want to figure out the number of times 1296754 can be divided by 406.

Advancing to step 1:
406 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 406

Step 2:
12 divided by 406 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 129 / 406

Moving on to step 3:
129 divided by 406 is 0 with a remainder of 129.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 129, we end up with 129.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 129, then carry on: 1296 / 406

Advancing to step 4:
406 goes into 1296 3 times with a remainder of 78.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 1218 from 1296, we get 78.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 78 and continue: 787 / 406

On to step 5:
If we divide 787 by 406, we get 1 and a remainder of 381.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 406 from 787, we get 381.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 381 and repeat the process: 3815 / 406

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 3815 by 406, we get 9 and a remainder of 161.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 319.0
The remainder is 161 after subtracting 3654 from 3815.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 161 and repeat the process: 1614 / 406

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 1614 by 406, we get 3 and a remainder of 396.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3193.0
If we take 1218 away from 1614, we end up with 396.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3960, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
406 can be fit into 3960 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 306.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3193.9
If we take 3654 away from 3960, we end up with 306.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3060, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
406 goes into 3060 7 times with a remainder of 218.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3193.97
If we subtract 2842 from 3060, we get 218.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
406 can be fit into 2180 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 150.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3193.975
If we take 2030 away from 2180, we end up with 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
1500 divided by 406 is 3 with a remainder of 282.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3193.9753
The remainder is 282 after subtracting 1218 from 1500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2820, and continue the process.

Step 12:
2820 divided by 406 is 6 with a remainder of 384.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3193.97536
The remainder is 384 after subtracting 2436 from 2820.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
3840 divided by 406 is 9 with a remainder of 186.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3193.975369
If we subtract 3654 from 3840, we get 186.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1860, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
1860 divided by 406 is 4 with a remainder of 236.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3193.9753694
Subtract 1624 from 1860 to get 236.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2360, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 2360 by 406, we get 5 with a remainder of 330.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3193.97536945
Subtract 2030 from 2360 to get 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3300, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3193.97536945 with a remaining 3.3e-07.
