12241412 divided by 259 
We want to figure out the number of times 12241412 can be divided by 259.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 259 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 259

Advancing to step 2:
12 divided by 259 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 122 / 259

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 122 by 259, we get 0 with a remainder of 122.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 122, we end up with 122.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 122 and continue with: 1224 / 259

On to step 4:
1224 divided by 259 is 4 with a remainder of 188.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 188 after subtracting 1036 from 1224.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 188, then carry on: 1881 / 259

On to step 5:
259 goes into 1881 7 times with a remainder of 68.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
Deduct 1813 from 1881 and we're left with 68.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 68, then repeat: 684 / 259

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 684 by 259, we get 2 with a remainder of 166.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 472.0
If we take 518 away from 684, we end up with 166.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 166 and continue: 1661 / 259

Moving on to step 7:
259 can be fit into 1661 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 107.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4726.0
The remainder is 107 after subtracting 1554 from 1661.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 107 and continue with: 1072 / 259

On to step 8:
If we divide 1072 by 259, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47264.0
If we take 1036 away from 1072, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
360 divided by 259 is 1 with a remainder of 101.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47264.1
The remainder is 101 after subtracting 259 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1010, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
259 can be fit into 1010 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 233.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47264.13
Subtracting 777 from 1010 leaves us with 233.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
2330 divided by 259 is 8 with a remainder of 258.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47264.138
If we subtract 2072 from 2330, we get 258.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2580, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
2580 divided by 259 is 9 with a remainder of 249.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47264.1389
Subtracting 2331 from 2580 leaves us with 249.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 2490 by 259, we get 9 with a remainder of 159.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47264.13899
If we subtract 2331 from 2490, we get 159.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1590, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 47264.13899, with a leftover of 0.000159.
