Let's divide 261228 by 58
We want to divide 261228 by 58.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 58 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 58

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 58 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 261 / 58

Going ahead to step 3:
261 divided by 58 is 4 with a remainder of 29.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 232 from 261 and we're left with 29.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 292 / 58

Step 4:
58 can be fit into 292 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 45.0
Deduct 290 from 292 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 58

Advancing to step 5:
58 goes into 22 0 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 450.0
If we subtract 0 from 22, we get 22.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 228 / 58

Step 6:
58 goes into 228 3 times with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4503.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 174 from 228.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
58 goes into 540 9 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4503.9
If we subtract 522 from 540, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 58 fits into 180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4503.93
If we take 174 away from 180, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 9:
58 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4503.931
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 58 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 58 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4503.931
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 58, we get 3 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4503.93103
Subtracting 174 from 200 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 260 by 58, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4503.931034
If we take 232 away from 260, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 280 by 58, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4503.9310344
Subtracting 232 from 280 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4503.9310344, and the remainder is 4.8e-07.
