Let's divide 56783978 by 261
We want to figure out the number of times 56783978 can be divided by 261.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 261 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 56 / 261

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 56 by 261, we get 0 and a remainder of 56.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 56, we get 56.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 567 / 261

Step 3:
When dividing 567 by 261, we get 2 with a remainder of 45.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 522 from 567 and we're left with 45.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 458 / 261

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 458 by 261, we get 1 with a remainder of 197.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 261 from 458 leaves us with 197.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 197 and continue: 1973 / 261

On to step 5:
When dividing 1973 by 261, we get 7 with a remainder of 146.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 217.0
The remainder is 146 after subtracting 1827 from 1973.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 146, then carry on: 1469 / 261

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 1469 by 261, we get 5 and a remainder of 164.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2175.0
Deduct 1305 from 1469 and we're left with 164.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 164, then carry on: 1647 / 261

Going ahead to step 7:
261 can be fit into 1647 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 81.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21756.0
If we subtract 1566 from 1647, we get 81.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 81, then repeat: 818 / 261

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 818 by 261, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 217563.0
Deduct 783 from 818 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
261 goes into 350 1 times with a remainder of 89.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 217563.1
Subtract 261 from 350 to get 89.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 890 by 261, we get 3 and a remainder of 107.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 217563.13
The remainder is 107 after subtracting 783 from 890.
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 11:
261 can be fit into 1070 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 217563.134
Subtract 1044 from 1070 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 260 by 261, we get 0 with a remainder of 260.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 217563.134
If we subtract 0 from 260, we get 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
261 can be fit into 2600 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 251.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 217563.13409
The remainder is 251 after subtracting 2349 from 2600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2510, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 2510 by 261, we get 9 and a remainder of 161.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 217563.134099
Subtract 2349 from 2510 to get 161.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1610, and continue the process.

The final result is 217563.134099 with a remainder of 1.61e-05.
