Let's divide 85981542 by 251
We're looking to find how many times 251 goes into 85981542.

Step 1:
251 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 251

On to step 2:
When dividing 85 by 251, we get 0 with a remainder of 85.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 85 leaves us with 85.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 85, then repeat: 859 / 251

Step 3:
When dividing 859 by 251, we get 3 with a remainder of 106.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 106 after subtracting 753 from 859.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 106 and continue: 1068 / 251

Advancing to step 4:
1068 divided by 251 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 34.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 1004 from 1068.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 641 / 251

Let's proceed to step 5:
641 divided by 251 is 2 with a remainder of 139.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 342.0
Subtracting 502 from 641 leaves us with 139.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 139, then repeat: 1395 / 251

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 1395 by 251, we get 5 and a remainder of 140.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3425.0
If we take 1255 away from 1395, we end up with 140.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 140, then carry on: 1404 / 251

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 1404 by 251, we get 5 with a remainder of 149.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34255.0
If we take 1255 away from 1404, we end up with 149.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 149, then repeat: 1492 / 251

Going ahead to step 8:
251 can be fit into 1492 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 237.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 342555.0
The remainder is 237 after subtracting 1255 from 1492.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 251 fits into 2370 9 times, leaving a remainder of 111.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 342555.9
If we subtract 2259 from 2370, we get 111.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
251 can be fit into 1110 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 106.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 342555.94
The remainder is 106 after subtracting 1004 from 1110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 1060 by 251, we get 4 and a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 342555.944
If we subtract 1004 from 1060, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Our division results in 342555.944 with a remaining 0.0056.
