We divide 261688 by 58
Our goal is to divide 261688 by 58.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 58, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 58

On to step 2:
26 divided by 58 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 261 / 58

Let's proceed to step 3:
58 goes into 261 4 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 232 from 261, we get 29.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 296 / 58

Advancing to step 4:
296 divided by 58 is 5 with a remainder of 6.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 45.0
Deduct 290 from 296 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 58

On to step 5:
The number 58 fits into 68 1 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 451.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 58 from 68.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 108 / 58

Moving on to step 6:
58 can be fit into 108 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4511.0
Deduct 58 from 108 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 7:
58 goes into 500 8 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4511.8
If we subtract 464 from 500, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
58 goes into 360 6 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4511.86
Subtract 348 from 360 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 9:
120 divided by 58 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4511.862
If we subtract 116 from 120, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 58 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4511.862
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
400 divided by 58 is 6 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4511.86206
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 348 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
520 divided by 58 is 8 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4511.862068
Subtract 464 from 520 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
58 goes into 560 9 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4511.8620689
If we subtract 522 from 560, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
58 can be fit into 380 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4511.86206896
If we take 348 away from 380, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4511.86206896 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
