We're dividing 14871085 by 254 
We want to divide 14871085 by 254.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 254, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 254

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 254 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 148 / 254

Step 3:
If we divide 148 by 254, we get 0 and a remainder of 148.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 148 and we're left with 148.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 148, then repeat: 1487 / 254

Advancing to step 4:
254 goes into 1487 5 times with a remainder of 217.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 1270 from 1487, we get 217.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 217, then repeat: 2171 / 254

On to step 5:
254 goes into 2171 8 times with a remainder of 139.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtracting 2032 from 2171 leaves us with 139.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 139 and continue with: 1390 / 254

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 1390 by 254, we get 5 with a remainder of 120.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 585.0
If we take 1270 away from 1390, we end up with 120.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 120, then carry on: 1208 / 254

Step 7:
1208 divided by 254 is 4 with a remainder of 192.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5854.0
If we subtract 1016 from 1208, we get 192.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 192, then carry on: 1925 / 254

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 1925 by 254, we get 7 and a remainder of 147.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58547.0
Subtract 1778 from 1925 to get 147.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1470, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
254 can be fit into 1470 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 200.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 58547.5
Subtract 1270 from 1470 to get 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 2000 by 254, we get 7 and a remainder of 222.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58547.57
Deduct 1778 from 2000 and we're left with 222.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2220, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 2220 by 254, we get 8 with a remainder of 188.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 58547.578
Subtract 2032 from 2220 to get 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
254 goes into 1880 7 times with a remainder of 102.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58547.5787
The remainder is 102 after subtracting 1778 from 1880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

Step 13:
254 can be fit into 1020 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58547.57874
Subtracting 1016 from 1020 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.

On to step 14:
The number 254 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58547.57874
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.

Advancing to step 15:
254 can be fit into 400 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 146.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 58547.5787401
Subtracting 254 from 400 leaves us with 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

Step 16:
1460 divided by 254 is 5 with a remainder of 190.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58547.57874015
Subtract 1270 from 1460 to get 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1900, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 58547.57874015 with a balance of 1.9e-07.
