We're dividing 53408772 by 261 
Our goal is to divide 53408772 by 261.

Going ahead to step 1:
261 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 261

Advancing to step 2:
The number 261 fits into 53 0 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 53 leaves us with 53.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 534 / 261

Going ahead to step 3:
534 divided by 261 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 522 from 534.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 120 / 261

Advancing to step 4:
120 divided by 261 is 0 with a remainder of 120.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 120 and we're left with 120.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 120 and continue: 1208 / 261

On to step 5:
When dividing 1208 by 261, we get 4 with a remainder of 164.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 204.0
If we subtract 1044 from 1208, we get 164.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 164, then repeat: 1647 / 261

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 1647 by 261, we get 6 and a remainder of 81.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2046.0
If we subtract 1566 from 1647, we get 81.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 81 and continue with: 817 / 261

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 817 by 261, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20463.0
Subtract 783 from 817 to get 34.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 342 / 261

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 342 by 261, we get 1 and a remainder of 81.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 204631.0
If we subtract 261 from 342, we get 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 810 by 261, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 204631.3
Deduct 783 from 810 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 270 by 261, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 204631.31
Subtracting 261 from 270 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 90 by 261, we get 0 and a remainder of 90.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 204631.31
If we subtract 0 from 90, we get 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
261 can be fit into 900 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 117.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 204631.3103
If we subtract 783 from 900, we get 117.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1170, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 261 fits into 1170 4 times, leaving a remainder of 126.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 204631.31034
If we take 1044 away from 1170, we end up with 126.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Step 14:
261 goes into 1260 4 times with a remainder of 216.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 204631.310344
The remainder is 216 after subtracting 1044 from 1260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 204631.310344 and a remainder of 2.16e-05.
