261256 divided by 12 
We want to divide 261256 by 12.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 12, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 12

Step 2:
12 can be fit into 26 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 24 from 26, we get 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 12

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 21 by 12, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 12 from 21 to get 9.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 92 / 12

On to step 4:
92 divided by 12 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 217.0
If we take 84 away from 92, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 12

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 85 by 12, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2177.0
Deduct 84 from 85 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 12

Moving on to step 6:
The number 12 fits into 16 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21771.0
If we subtract 12 from 16, 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 40 by 12, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21771.3
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 36 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 12 fits into 40 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21771.33
Subtracting 36 from 40 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 21771.33, with a leftover of 0.004.
