We divide 253981 by 13
We want to divide 253981 by 13.

On to step 1:
13 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 13

Going ahead to step 2:
25 divided by 13 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 13 from 25 leaves us with 12.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 123 / 13

Advancing to step 3:
13 goes into 123 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtracting 117 from 123 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 13

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 69 by 13, we get 5 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 195.0
If we subtract 65 from 69, we get 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 13

Moving on to step 5:
13 can be fit into 48 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1953.0
Subtracting 39 from 48 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 91 / 13

Moving on to step 6:
The number 13 fits into 91 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19537.0
Deduct 91 from 91 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 13, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19537.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 13, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19537.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 19537.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
