We divide 1978131 by 255
We want to figure out the number of times 1978131 can be divided by 255.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 255, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 255

Advancing to step 2:
255 can be fit into 19 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 19 and we're left with 19.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 255

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 197 by 255, we get 0 and a remainder of 197.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 197 to get 197.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 197, then repeat: 1978 / 255

Moving on to step 4:
The number 255 fits into 1978 7 times, leaving a remainder of 193.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 1785 from 1978 to get 193.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 193 and continue: 1931 / 255

Going ahead to step 5:
1931 divided by 255 is 7 with a remainder of 146.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 77.0
Deduct 1785 from 1931 and we're left with 146.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 146 and continue: 1463 / 255

Going ahead to step 6:
1463 divided by 255 is 5 with a remainder of 188.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 775.0
The remainder is 188 after subtracting 1275 from 1463.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 188, then repeat: 1881 / 255

Advancing to step 7:
255 can be fit into 1881 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7757.0
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 1785 from 1881.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 960 by 255, we get 3 with a remainder of 195.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7757.3
Subtract 765 from 960 to get 195.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1950, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
255 can be fit into 1950 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 165.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7757.37
If we take 1785 away from 1950, we end up with 165.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 1650 by 255, we get 6 and a remainder of 120.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7757.376
Subtracting 1530 from 1650 leaves us with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
1200 divided by 255 is 4 with a remainder of 180.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7757.3764
If we take 1020 away from 1200, we end up with 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
255 can be fit into 1800 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7757.37647
If we subtract 1785 from 1800, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
255 can be fit into 150 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 150.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7757.37647
Subtracting 0 from 150 leaves us with 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
255 can be fit into 1500 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 225.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7757.3764705
If we take 1275 away from 1500, we end up with 225.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 2250 by 255, we get 8 and a remainder of 210.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7757.37647058
Subtracting 2040 from 2250 leaves us with 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2100, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7757.37647058, and the remainder is 2.1e-07.
