Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 6 from dividend 66259

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{253)}\phantom{1}\\253\overline{)66259}\\\end{array}$$

Since 6 is less than 253, use the next digit 6 from dividend 66259 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{253)}0\phantom{2}\\253\overline{)66259}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 6 from dividend 66259

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{253)}0\phantom{3}\\253\overline{)66259}\\\end{array}$$

Since 66 is less than 253, use the next digit 2 from dividend 66259 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{253)}00\phantom{4}\\253\overline{)66259}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 2 from dividend 66259

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{253)}00\phantom{5}\\253\overline{)66259}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 253 to 662. We see that 2 \times 253 = 506 is the nearest. Now subtract 506 from 662 to get reminder 156. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{253)}002\phantom{6}\\253\overline{)66259}\\\phantom{253)}\underline{\phantom{}506\phantom{99}}\\\phantom{253)}156\\\end{array}$$

Use the 4^{th} digit 5 from dividend 66259

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{253)}002\phantom{7}\\253\overline{)66259}\\\phantom{253)}\underline{\phantom{}506\phantom{99}}\\\phantom{253)}1565\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 253 to 1565. We see that 6 \times 253 = 1518 is the nearest. Now subtract 1518 from 1565 to get reminder 47. Add 6 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{253)}0026\phantom{8}\\253\overline{)66259}\\\phantom{253)}\underline{\phantom{}506\phantom{99}}\\\phantom{253)}1565\\\phantom{253)}\underline{\phantom{}1518\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{253)99}47\\\end{array}$$

Use the 5^{th} digit 9 from dividend 66259

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{253)}0026\phantom{9}\\253\overline{)66259}\\\phantom{253)}\underline{\phantom{}506\phantom{99}}\\\phantom{253)}1565\\\phantom{253)}\underline{\phantom{}1518\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{253)99}479\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 253 to 479. We see that 1 \times 253 = 253 is the nearest. Now subtract 253 from 479 to get reminder 226. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{253)}00261\phantom{10}\\253\overline{)66259}\\\phantom{253)}\underline{\phantom{}506\phantom{99}}\\\phantom{253)}1565\\\phantom{253)}\underline{\phantom{}1518\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{253)99}479\\\phantom{253)}\underline{\phantom{99}253\phantom{}}\\\phantom{253)99}226\\\end{array}$$

Since 226 is less than 253, stop the division. The reminder is 226. The topmost line 00261 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 261.

$$\text{Quotient: }261 \text{Reminder: }226$$

Factor

$$\frac{173 \cdot 383}{11 \cdot 23} = 261\frac{226}{253} = 261.89328063241106$$
