We divide 262256 by 21
Our goal is to divide 262256 by 21.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 21 fits into 2 0 times, leaving 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 / 21

Advancing to step 2:
26 divided by 21 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 21 from 26, we get 5.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 21

On to step 3:
The number 21 fits into 52 2 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 42 from 52.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 102 / 21

Step 4:
102 divided by 21 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 124.0
Subtract 84 from 102 to get 18.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 185 / 21

On to step 5:
185 divided by 21 is 8 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1248.0
Deduct 168 from 185 and we're left with 17.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 176 / 21

Going ahead to step 6:
21 goes into 176 8 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12488.0
If we take 168 away from 176, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
21 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12488.3
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 63 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
21 goes into 170 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12488.38
Subtract 168 from 170 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
20 divided by 21 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12488.38
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 200 by 21, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12488.3809
If we subtract 189 from 200, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 110 by 21, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12488.38095
If we subtract 105 from 110, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 50 by 21, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12488.380952
Deduct 42 from 50 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 21 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12488.3809523
Subtract 63 from 80 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 170 by 21, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12488.38095238
Deduct 168 from 170 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12488.38095238 with a remaining 2e-09.
