We divide 4271581 by 240
We want to divide 4271581 by 240.

On to step 1:
The number 240 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 240

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 240, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 427 / 240

Moving on to step 3:
240 goes into 427 1 times with a remainder of 187.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 240 away from 427, we end up with 187.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 187 and continue with: 1871 / 240

Advancing to step 4:
1871 divided by 240 is 7 with a remainder of 191.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 1680 from 1871 to get 191.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 191, then carry on: 1915 / 240

Let's proceed to step 5:
240 can be fit into 1915 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 235.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 177.0
The remainder is 235 after subtracting 1680 from 1915.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 235, then carry on: 2358 / 240

Step 6:
If we divide 2358 by 240, we get 9 and a remainder of 198.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1779.0
Subtract 2160 from 2358 to get 198.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 198, then carry on: 1981 / 240

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 1981 by 240, we get 8 and a remainder of 61.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17798.0
Subtracting 1920 from 1981 leaves us with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 240 fits into 610 2 times, leaving a remainder of 130.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17798.2
Subtracting 480 from 610 leaves us with 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 1300 by 240, we get 5 with a remainder of 100.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17798.25
If we take 1200 away from 1300, we end up with 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
240 goes into 1000 4 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17798.254
If we subtract 960 from 1000, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 240 fits into 400 1 times, leaving a remainder of 160.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17798.2541
The remainder is 160 after subtracting 240 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 240 fits into 1600 6 times, leaving a remainder of 160.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17798.25416
Subtracting 1440 from 1600 leaves us with 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Step 13:
1600 divided by 240 is 6 with a remainder of 160.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17798.254166
Subtracting 1440 from 1600 leaves us with 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17798.254166 with a remaining 1.6e-05.
