We look at the division of 261402 by 1 
Our goal is to divide 261402 by 1.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 1, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 6 / 1

Step 2:
1 can be fit into 6 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtracting 6 from 6 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 1

Step 3:
1 goes into 1 1 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 261.0
If we take 1 away from 1, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 1

Let's proceed to step 4:
4 divided by 1 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2614.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 4 from 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 0 / 1

Step 5:
If we divide 0 by 1, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26140.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 2 / 1

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 1 fits into 2 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 261402.0
Deduct 2 from 2 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 1, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 261402.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 0 by 1, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 261402.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 261402.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
