To divide 582 by 261, we follow the long division method. Let's break down the steps involved in this process:



We start by dividing the first digit of the dividend (5) by the divisor (2). Since 5 is greater than 2, the quotient will be a whole number. Therefore, the quotient is 2.



Next, we multiply the divisor (261) by the quotient (2), which gives us 522.



We subtract 522 from the dividend (582) to get the remainder. 582 - 522 = 60.



We bring down the next digit of the dividend, which is 2, to the right of the remainder.



We divide the new dividend (602) by the divisor (261). The quotient will be a whole number since 602 is greater than 261. The quotient is 2.



We multiply the divisor (261) by the quotient (2), which gives us 522.



We subtract 522 from the new dividend (602) to get the remainder. 602 - 522 = 80.



We bring down the next digit of the dividend, which is 0, to the right of the remainder.



We divide the new dividend (800) by the divisor (261). The quotient will be a whole number since 800 is greater than 261. The quotient is 3.



We multiply the divisor (261) by the quotient (3), which gives us 783.



We subtract 783 from the new dividend (800) to get the remainder. 800 - 783 = 17.



We bring down the next digit of the dividend, which is 7, to the right of the remainder.



We divide the new dividend (177) by the divisor (261). The quotient will be a decimal since 177 is less than 261. The quotient is approximately 0
