We divide 56661073 by 261
We're looking to find how many times 261 goes into 56661073.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 261 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 56 / 261

Moving on to step 2:
The number 261 fits into 56 0 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 56 to get 56.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 566 / 261

Moving on to step 3:
566 divided by 261 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 522 away from 566, we end up with 44.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 446 / 261

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 446 by 261, we get 1 with a remainder of 185.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 261 from 446, we get 185.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 185, then carry on: 1851 / 261

On to step 5:
1851 divided by 261 is 7 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 217.0
If we take 1827 away from 1851, we end up with 24.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 240 / 261

Step 6:
If we divide 240 by 261, we get 0 and a remainder of 240.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2170.0
If we subtract 0 from 240, we get 240.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 240, then repeat: 2407 / 261

On to step 7:
The number 261 fits into 2407 9 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21709.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 2349 from 2407.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 583 / 261

Moving on to step 8:
261 can be fit into 583 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 217092.0
Subtract 522 from 583 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 610 by 261, we get 2 and a remainder of 88.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 217092.2
If we take 522 away from 610, we end up with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 880 by 261, we get 3 with a remainder of 97.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 217092.23
Subtracting 783 from 880 leaves us with 97.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 970, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
261 can be fit into 970 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 187.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 217092.233
If we subtract 783 from 970, we get 187.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1870, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 217092.233 with a balance of 0.0187.
