261499 ÷ 34 
We want to divide 261499 by 34.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 34, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 34

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 34 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 261 / 34

Advancing to step 3:
34 goes into 261 7 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 238 from 261 to get 23.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 234 / 34

On to step 4:
When dividing 234 by 34, we get 6 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 76.0
If we subtract 204 from 234, we get 30.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 309 / 34

Going ahead to step 5:
34 can be fit into 309 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 769.0
Deduct 306 from 309 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 39 / 34

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 39 by 34, we get 1 and a remainder of 5.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7691.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 34 from 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 34, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7691.1
If we take 34 away from 50, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
34 goes into 160 4 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7691.14
Subtracting 136 from 160 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
240 divided by 34 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7691.147
Subtracting 238 from 240 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
20 divided by 34 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7691.147
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 34, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7691.14705
If we take 170 away from 200, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
300 divided by 34 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7691.147058
Subtracting 272 from 300 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
34 goes into 280 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7691.1470588
If we take 272 away from 280, we end up 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 7691.1470588 with a remaining 8e-08.
