Let's divide 214961 by 10
We want to figure out the number of times 214961 can be divided by 10.

On to step 1:
10 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 10

Let's proceed to step 2:
21 divided by 10 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 20 from 21 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 10

Going ahead to step 3:
10 goes into 14 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 10 from 14 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 10

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 49 by 10, we get 4 with a remainder of 9.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 214.0
If we subtract 40 from 49, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 96 / 10

Going ahead to step 5:
10 can be fit into 96 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2149.0
Subtracting 90 from 96 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 61 / 10

On to step 6:
10 can be fit into 61 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21496.0
If we subtract 60 from 61, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
10 can be fit into 10 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21496.1
If we take 10 away from 10, 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 0 by 10, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21496.1
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
10 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21496.1
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 final result is 21496.1 with a remainder of 0.0.
