268972 ÷ 1 
Our goal is to divide 268972 by 1.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 1, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 2 from 2, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 1

Step 2:
1 goes into 6 6 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 6 from 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 1

On to step 3:
The number 1 fits into 8 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 268.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 1

On to step 4:
The number 1 fits into 9 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2689.0
Subtract 9 from 9 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 1

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 7 by 1, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26897.0
If we take 7 away from 7, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 1

Moving on to step 6:
The number 1 fits into 2 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 268972.0
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.

Going ahead to step 7:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 268972.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
The number 1 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 268972.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 268972.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
