11997295 ÷ 251 
We want to figure out the number of times 11997295 can be divided by 251.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 251 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 251

Step 2:
When dividing 11 by 251, we get 0 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 11 to get 11.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 119 / 251

Moving on to step 3:
The number 251 fits into 119 0 times, leaving a remainder of 119.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 119, we end up with 119.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 119 and continue: 1199 / 251

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 1199 by 251, we get 4 with a remainder of 195.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 1004 from 1199, we get 195.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 195, then repeat: 1957 / 251

On to step 5:
251 can be fit into 1957 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 200.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 1757 away from 1957, we end up with 200.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 200, then carry on: 2002 / 251

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 2002 by 251, we get 7 with a remainder of 245.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 477.0
The remainder is 245 after subtracting 1757 from 2002.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 245 and continue with: 2459 / 251

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 2459 by 251, we get 9 and a remainder of 200.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4779.0
The remainder is 200 after subtracting 2259 from 2459.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 200 and continue: 2005 / 251

On to step 8:
When dividing 2005 by 251, we get 7 with a remainder of 248.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47797.0
The remainder is 248 after subtracting 1757 from 2005.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2480, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 251 fits into 2480 9 times, leaving a remainder of 221.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 47797.9
Subtracting 2259 from 2480 leaves us with 221.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 2210 by 251, we get 8 and a remainder of 202.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47797.98
If we take 2008 away from 2210, we end up with 202.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2020, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
251 can be fit into 2020 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47797.988
Deduct 2008 from 2020 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Our division results in 47797.988 with a remaining 0.0012.
