We're dividing 2608808 by 143 
Our goal is to divide 2608808 by 143.

Let's proceed to step 1:
143 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 143

On to step 2:
143 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 260 / 143

Let's proceed to step 3:
260 divided by 143 is 1 with a remainder of 117.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 143 from 260 and we're left with 117.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 117, then repeat: 1178 / 143

Let's proceed to step 4:
143 goes into 1178 8 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 1144 away from 1178, we end up with 34.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 348 / 143

On to step 5:
348 divided by 143 is 2 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 182.0
Deduct 286 from 348 and we're left with 62.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 620 / 143

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 620 by 143, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1824.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 572 from 620.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 488 / 143

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 488 by 143, we get 3 and a remainder of 59.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18243.0
If we subtract 429 from 488, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
143 goes into 590 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18243.4
Subtracting 572 from 590 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
143 can be fit into 180 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18243.41
Subtract 143 from 180 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
370 divided by 143 is 2 with a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 18243.412
Deduct 286 from 370 and we're left with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 840 by 143, we get 5 and a remainder of 125.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18243.4125
The remainder is 125 after subtracting 715 from 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1250, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 143 fits into 1250 8 times, leaving a remainder of 106.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18243.41258
If we subtract 1144 from 1250, we get 106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 143 fits into 1060 7 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18243.412587
Subtracting 1001 from 1060 leaves us with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
143 can be fit into 590 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18243.4125874
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 572 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 15:
143 can be fit into 180 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18243.41258741
Subtract 143 from 180 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 18243.41258741, with a leftover of 3.7e-08.
