We divide 264542 by 15
We want to divide 264542 by 15.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 15, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 15

Step 2:
26 divided by 15 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 15 from 26 to get 11.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 114 / 15

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 15 fits into 114 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 105 from 114 to get 9.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 95 / 15

Going ahead to step 4:
15 goes into 95 6 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 176.0
If we take 90 away from 95, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 15

On to step 5:
When dividing 54 by 15, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1763.0
If we take 45 away from 54, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 92 / 15

Going ahead to step 6:
15 can be fit into 92 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17636.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 90 from 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 15 fits into 20 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17636.1
If we take 15 away from 20, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
15 goes into 50 3 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17636.13
If we subtract 45 from 50, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 50 by 15, we get 3 with a remainder of 5.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17636.133
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 45 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17636.133 with a balance of 0.0005.
