We divide 31126052 by 259
Our goal is to divide 31126052 by 259.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 259 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 259

Advancing to step 2:
259 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 311 / 259

Step 3:
If we divide 311 by 259, we get 1 and a remainder of 52.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 259 from 311, we get 52.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 522 / 259

Advancing to step 4:
522 divided by 259 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 518 from 522 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 259

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 46 by 259, we get 0 and a remainder of 46.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120.0
Deduct 0 from 46 and we're left with 46.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 460 / 259

Going ahead to step 6:
259 goes into 460 1 times with a remainder of 201.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1201.0
If we subtract 259 from 460, we get 201.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 201 and continue with: 2015 / 259

Step 7:
259 can be fit into 2015 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 202.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12017.0
The remainder is 202 after subtracting 1813 from 2015.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 202, then carry on: 2022 / 259

Moving on to step 8:
2022 divided by 259 is 7 with a remainder of 209.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120177.0
Subtract 1813 from 2022 to get 209.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2090, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
259 can be fit into 2090 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 120177.8
If we subtract 2072 from 2090, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 10:
259 can be fit into 180 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 180.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120177.8
Subtract 0 from 180 to get 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
259 can be fit into 1800 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 246.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120177.806
The remainder is 246 after subtracting 1554 from 1800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 2460 by 259, we get 9 and a remainder of 129.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 120177.8069
The remainder is 129 after subtracting 2331 from 2460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 1290 by 259, we get 4 with a remainder of 254.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 120177.80694
Subtract 1036 from 1290 to get 254.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2540, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 2540 by 259, we get 9 with a remainder of 209.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120177.806949
Subtract 2331 from 2540 to get 209.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2090, and continue the process.

Step 15:
The number 259 fits into 2090 8 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 120177.8069498
Subtract 2072 from 2090 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
259 goes into 180 0 times with a remainder of 180.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 120177.8069498
If we take 0 away from 180, we end up with 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 120177.8069498 with a balance of 1.8e-07.
