Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 261

On to step 2:
261 goes into 71 0 times with a remainder of 71.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 0 from 71.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 717 / 261

The number 261 fits into 717 2 times, leaving a remainder of 195.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 522 from 717 to get 195.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 195 and continue: 1954 / 261

On to step 4:
If we divide 1954 by 261, we get 7 and a remainder of 127.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 1827 from 1954, we get 127.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 127 and continue: 1276 / 261

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 1276 by 261, we get 4 and a remainder of 232.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 274.0
Subtract 1044 from 1276 to get 232.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 232 and continue with: 2329 / 261

Advancing to step 6:
261 can be fit into 2329 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 241.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2748.0
The remainder is 241 after subtracting 2088 from 2329.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 241, then carry on: 2414 / 261

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 2414 by 261, we get 9 with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 27489.0
If we take 2349 away from 2414, we end up with 65.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 65, then repeat: 658 / 261

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 658 by 261, we get 2 with a remainder of 136.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 274892.0
The remainder is 136 after subtracting 522 from 658.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 261 fits into 1360 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 274892.5
Deduct 1305 from 1360 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 261 fits into 550 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 274892.52
Deduct 522 from 550 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
280 divided by 261 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 274892.521
Deduct 261 from 280 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 261 fits into 190 0 times, leaving a remainder of 190.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 274892.521
If we subtract 0 from 190, we 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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 1900 by 261, we get 7 with a remainder of 73.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 274892.52107
Subtract 1827 from 1900 to get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 261 fits into 730 2 times, leaving a remainder of 208.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 274892.521072
Subtract 522 from 730 to get 208.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
2080 divided by 261 is 7 with a remainder of 253.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 274892.5210727
Deduct 1827 from 2080 and we're left with 253.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
2530 divided by 261 is 9 with a remainder of 181.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 274892.52107279
The remainder is 181 after subtracting 2349 from 2530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1810, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 274892.52107279 and a remainder of 1.81e-07.
