We look at the division of 6872000 by 256 
We want to divide 6872000 by 256.

On to step 1:
6 divided by 256 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 256

Step 2:
When dividing 68 by 256, we get 0 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 68 and we're left with 68.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 687 / 256

Moving on to step 3:
256 goes into 687 2 times with a remainder of 175.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 512 from 687, we get 175.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 175, then repeat: 1752 / 256

Moving on to step 4:
The number 256 fits into 1752 6 times, leaving a remainder of 216.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we subtract 1536 from 1752, we get 216.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 216 and repeat the process: 2160 / 256

Advancing to step 5:
256 goes into 2160 8 times with a remainder of 112.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 268.0
Subtracting 2048 from 2160 leaves us with 112.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 112 and repeat the process: 1120 / 256

Let's proceed to step 6:
1120 divided by 256 is 4 with a remainder of 96.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2684.0
Deduct 1024 from 1120 and we're left with 96.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 96, then carry on: 960 / 256

On to step 7:
If we divide 960 by 256, we get 3 and a remainder of 192.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26843.0
If we take 768 away from 960, we end up with 192.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

Step 8:
256 can be fit into 1920 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 128.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26843.7
Deduct 1792 from 1920 and we're left with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 1280 by 256, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 26843.75
Subtracting 1280 from 1280 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.

On to step 10:
The number 256 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26843.75
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 0 by 256, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26843.75
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

The quotient of the division is 26843.75, and the remainder is 0.0.
