261860 ÷ 76 
We want to divide 261860 by 76.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 76, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 76

Step 2:
When dividing 26 by 76, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 261 / 76

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 261 by 76, we get 3 and a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 228 from 261.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 338 / 76

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 338 by 76, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtract 304 from 338 to get 34.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 346 / 76

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 346 by 76, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 344.0
Deduct 304 from 346 and we're left with 42.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 420 / 76

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 420 by 76, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3445.0
If we subtract 380 from 420, 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.

Step 7:
76 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3445.5
Subtracting 380 from 400 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.

On to step 8:
200 divided by 76 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3445.52
Subtracting 152 from 200 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
480 divided by 76 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3445.526
Subtract 456 from 480 to get 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 10:
When dividing 240 by 76, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3445.5263
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 228 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 120 by 76, we get 1 with a remainder of 44.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3445.52631
Deduct 76 from 120 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 76 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3445.526315
Subtract 380 from 440 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 600 by 76, we get 7 with a remainder of 68.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3445.5263157
Subtracting 532 from 600 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
76 can be fit into 680 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3445.52631578
Deduct 608 from 680 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3445.52631578 with a remaining 7.2e-08.
