We divide 2642658 by 872
We're looking to find how many times 872 goes into 2642658.

On to step 1:
872 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 872

Step 2:
872 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 264 / 872

On to step 3:
If we divide 264 by 872, we get 0 and a remainder of 264.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 264 after subtracting 0 from 264.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 264 and continue: 2642 / 872

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 2642 by 872, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 2616 away from 2642, we end up with 26.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 266 / 872

Advancing to step 5:
The number 872 fits into 266 0 times, leaving a remainder of 266.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we subtract 0 from 266, we get 266.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 266 and continue with: 2665 / 872

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 2665 by 872, we get 3 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 303.0
If we take 2616 away from 2665, we end up with 49.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 498 / 872

Moving on to step 7:
872 can be fit into 498 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 498.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3030.0
If we take 0 away from 498, we end up with 498.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4980, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 872 fits into 4980 5 times, leaving a remainder of 620.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3030.5
Deduct 4360 from 4980 and we're left with 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 6200 by 872, we get 7 and a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3030.57
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 6104 from 6200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
872 goes into 960 1 times with a remainder of 88.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3030.571
Subtract 872 from 960 to get 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
872 can be fit into 880 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3030.5711
Subtract 872 from 880 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 3030.5711 with a remainder of 8e-05.
