We're dividing 2689741 by 461 
We're looking to find how many times 461 goes into 2689741.

Going ahead to step 1:
461 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
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 461

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 461, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 268 / 461

Step 3:
When dividing 268 by 461, we get 0 with a remainder of 268.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 268 and we're left with 268.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 268 and continue with: 2689 / 461

On to step 4:
When dividing 2689 by 461, we get 5 with a remainder of 384.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 2305 from 2689 to get 384.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 384 and continue: 3847 / 461

Moving on to step 5:
The number 461 fits into 3847 8 times, leaving a remainder of 159.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtracting 3688 from 3847 leaves us with 159.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 159 and repeat the process: 1594 / 461

Going ahead to step 6:
461 can be fit into 1594 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 211.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 583.0
Subtracting 1383 from 1594 leaves us with 211.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 211, then carry on: 2111 / 461

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 2111 by 461, we get 4 with a remainder of 267.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5834.0
Deduct 1844 from 2111 and we're left with 267.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 2670 by 461, we get 5 and a remainder of 365.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5834.5
Subtract 2305 from 2670 to get 365.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3650, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 3650 by 461, we get 7 with a remainder of 423.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5834.57
The remainder is 423 after subtracting 3227 from 3650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 4230 by 461, we get 9 and a remainder of 81.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5834.579
Subtract 4149 from 4230 to get 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
461 goes into 810 1 times with a remainder of 349.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5834.5791
If we subtract 461 from 810, we get 349.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3490, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
461 goes into 3490 7 times with a remainder of 263.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5834.57917
Subtracting 3227 from 3490 leaves us with 263.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2630, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 2630 by 461, we get 5 with a remainder of 325.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5834.579175
Subtract 2305 from 2630 to get 325.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3250, and continue the process.

Step 14:
3250 divided by 461 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5834.5791757
If we subtract 3227 from 3250, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
461 can be fit into 230 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 230.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5834.5791757
Subtracting 0 from 230 leaves us with 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2300, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5834.5791757 with a remaining 2.3e-07.
