We look at the division of 261791 by 12 
We're looking to find how many times 12 goes into 261791.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 12 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 12

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 12, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 24 from 26, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 12

On to step 3:
If we divide 21 by 12, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 12 from 21 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 12

Advancing to step 4:
12 can be fit into 97 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 218.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 96 from 97.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 12

Let's proceed to step 5:
12 can be fit into 19 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2181.0
Subtract 12 from 19 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 12

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 12 fits into 71 5 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21815.0
Deduct 60 from 71 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
12 can be fit into 110 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21815.9
Deduct 108 from 110 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
20 divided by 12 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21815.91
If we take 12 away from 20, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 12, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 21815.916
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 12, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 21815.9166
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 21815.9166 with a remainder of 8e-05.
