We divide 281236 by 65
Our goal is to divide 281236 by 65.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 65 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 65

On to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 65, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 281 / 65

Step 3:
281 divided by 65 is 4 with a remainder of 21.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 260 from 281.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 212 / 65

On to step 4:
If we divide 212 by 65, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we subtract 195 from 212, we get 17.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 173 / 65

Advancing to step 5:
The number 65 fits into 173 2 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 432.0
Subtracting 130 from 173 leaves us with 43.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 436 / 65

On to step 6:
The number 65 fits into 436 6 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4326.0
If we take 390 away from 436, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 460 by 65, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4326.7
If we subtract 455 from 460, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
65 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4326.7
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 500 by 65, we get 7 and a remainder of 45.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4326.707
Deduct 455 from 500 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
450 divided by 65 is 6 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4326.7076
Subtract 390 from 450 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
65 goes into 600 9 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4326.70769
Subtracting 585 from 600 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 150 by 65, we get 2 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4326.707692
Subtract 130 from 150 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
65 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4326.7076923
If we subtract 195 from 200, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 14:
65 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4326.7076923
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4326.7076923 and a remainder of 5e-08.
