We're dividing 3181782 by 259 
We want to divide 3181782 by 259.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 259, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 259

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 259 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 318 / 259

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 318 by 259, we get 1 and a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 259 from 318 to get 59.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 591 / 259

Moving on to step 4:
259 can be fit into 591 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 518 from 591.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 73, then repeat: 737 / 259

On to step 5:
The number 259 fits into 737 2 times, leaving a remainder of 219.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 122.0
Deduct 518 from 737 and we're left with 219.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 219, then carry on: 2198 / 259

Moving on to step 6:
2198 divided by 259 is 8 with a remainder of 126.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1228.0
The remainder is 126 after subtracting 2072 from 2198.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 126, then carry on: 1262 / 259

Let's proceed to step 7:
259 goes into 1262 4 times with a remainder of 226.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12284.0
Deduct 1036 from 1262 and we're left with 226.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2260, and continue the process.

Step 8:
2260 divided by 259 is 8 with a remainder of 188.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12284.8
Subtracting 2072 from 2260 leaves us with 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 1880 by 259, we get 7 with a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12284.87
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 1813 from 1880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 259 fits into 670 2 times, leaving a remainder of 152.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12284.872
Deduct 518 from 670 and we're left with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
259 goes into 1520 5 times with a remainder of 225.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12284.8725
The remainder is 225 after subtracting 1295 from 1520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2250, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 259 fits into 2250 8 times, leaving a remainder of 178.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12284.87258
Subtract 2072 from 2250 to get 178.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1780, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 259 fits into 1780 6 times, leaving a remainder of 226.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12284.872586
The remainder is 226 after subtracting 1554 from 1780.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
259 can be fit into 2260 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 188.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12284.8725868
Subtracting 2072 from 2260 leaves us with 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
1880 divided by 259 is 7 with a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12284.87258687
If we take 1813 away from 1880, we end up with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12284.87258687 with a balance of 6.7e-08.
