Let's divide 12780592 by 261
We want to divide 12780592 by 261.

Let's proceed to step 1:
261 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 261

Step 2:
The number 261 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 127 / 261

Advancing to step 3:
261 goes into 127 0 times with a remainder of 127.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 127 leaves us with 127.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 127 and continue: 1278 / 261

Moving on to step 4:
The number 261 fits into 1278 4 times, leaving a remainder of 234.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 1044 from 1278 and we're left with 234.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 234, then repeat: 2340 / 261

On to step 5:
261 can be fit into 2340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 252.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Deduct 2088 from 2340 and we're left with 252.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 252 and continue: 2525 / 261

Advancing to step 6:
261 goes into 2525 9 times with a remainder of 176.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 489.0
If we take 2349 away from 2525, we end up with 176.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 176 and continue: 1769 / 261

On to step 7:
1769 divided by 261 is 6 with a remainder of 203.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4896.0
If we take 1566 away from 1769, we end up with 203.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 203 and continue: 2032 / 261

Step 8:
261 can be fit into 2032 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 205.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48967.0
Subtract 1827 from 2032 to get 205.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2050, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 261 fits into 2050 7 times, leaving a remainder of 223.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48967.7
If we take 1827 away from 2050, we end up with 223.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
2230 divided by 261 is 8 with a remainder of 142.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48967.78
The remainder is 142 after subtracting 2088 from 2230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
261 can be fit into 1420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 115.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 48967.785
Subtracting 1305 from 1420 leaves us with 115.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1150, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 1150 by 261, we get 4 with a remainder of 106.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48967.7854
The remainder is 106 after subtracting 1044 from 1150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
261 can be fit into 1060 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48967.78544
Subtracting 1044 from 1060 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 48967.78544 with a balance of 1.6e-05.
