Let's divide 48472431 by 261
We're looking to find how many times 261 goes into 48472431.

Going ahead to step 1:
261 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 261

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 261 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 484 / 261

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 484 by 261, we get 1 with a remainder of 223.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 261 from 484, we get 223.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 223 and continue with: 2237 / 261

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 2237 by 261, we get 8 with a remainder of 149.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 149 after subtracting 2088 from 2237.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 149 and continue: 1492 / 261

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 1492 by 261, we get 5 with a remainder of 187.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 185.0
Subtract 1305 from 1492 to get 187.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 187, then repeat: 1874 / 261

On to step 6:
The number 261 fits into 1874 7 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1857.0
Deduct 1827 from 1874 and we're left with 47.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 473 / 261

Advancing to step 7:
473 divided by 261 is 1 with a remainder of 212.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18571.0
The remainder is 212 after subtracting 261 from 473.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 212 and continue with: 2121 / 261

On to step 8:
261 can be fit into 2121 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 185718.0
Subtracting 2088 from 2121 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 9:
261 can be fit into 330 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 185718.1
Deduct 261 from 330 and we're left with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
261 can be fit into 690 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 168.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 185718.12
The remainder is 168 after subtracting 522 from 690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 1680 by 261, we get 6 and a remainder of 114.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 185718.126
The remainder is 114 after subtracting 1566 from 1680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
1140 divided by 261 is 4 with a remainder of 96.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 185718.1264
If we subtract 1044 from 1140, we get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
960 divided by 261 is 3 with a remainder of 177.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 185718.12643
If we subtract 783 from 960, we get 177.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1770, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 1770 by 261, we get 6 with a remainder of 204.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 185718.126436
Subtract 1566 from 1770 to get 204.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2040, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 2040 by 261, we get 7 with a remainder of 213.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 185718.1264367
The remainder is 213 after subtracting 1827 from 2040.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
261 goes into 2130 8 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 185718.12643678
If we take 2088 away from 2130, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 185718.12643678, with a leftover of 4.2e-08.
