9608482 ÷ 257 
We want to figure out the number of times 9608482 can be divided by 257.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 257 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 96 / 257

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 96 by 257, we get 0 with a remainder of 96.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 96 to get 96.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 96 and repeat the process: 960 / 257

Let's proceed to step 3:
960 divided by 257 is 3 with a remainder of 189.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 771 from 960 leaves us with 189.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 189 and repeat the process: 1898 / 257

Moving on to step 4:
The number 257 fits into 1898 7 times, leaving a remainder of 99.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
The remainder is 99 after subtracting 1799 from 1898.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 99, then carry on: 994 / 257

Going ahead to step 5:
257 can be fit into 994 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 223.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 373.0
If we take 771 away from 994, we end up with 223.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 223, then repeat: 2238 / 257

Advancing to step 6:
The number 257 fits into 2238 8 times, leaving a remainder of 182.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3738.0
If we subtract 2056 from 2238, we get 182.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 182 and continue: 1822 / 257

Let's proceed to step 7:
1822 divided by 257 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 37387.0
Subtracting 1799 from 1822 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 230 by 257, we get 0 with a remainder of 230.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37387.0
Subtracting 0 from 230 leaves us with 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 257 fits into 2300 8 times, leaving a remainder of 244.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37387.08
Subtracting 2056 from 2300 leaves us with 244.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
257 goes into 2440 9 times with a remainder of 127.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37387.089
If we take 2313 away from 2440, we end up with 127.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 1270 by 257, we get 4 with a remainder of 242.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37387.0894
If we take 1028 away from 1270, we end up with 242.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
257 goes into 2420 9 times with a remainder of 107.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37387.08949
Subtracting 2313 from 2420 leaves us with 107.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1070, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 257 fits into 1070 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37387.089494
If we take 1028 away from 1070, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
257 goes into 420 1 times with a remainder of 163.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37387.0894941
Deduct 257 from 420 and we're left with 163.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1630, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
257 can be fit into 1630 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 88.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37387.08949416
Subtracting 1542 from 1630 leaves us with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 37387.08949416 with a balance of 8.8e-08.
