284972 divided by 89 
We want to divide 284972 by 89.

Step 1:
The number 89 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 89

On to step 2:
89 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 284 / 89

Advancing to step 3:
284 divided by 89 is 3 with a remainder of 17.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 267 from 284, we get 17.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 179 / 89

Step 4:
179 divided by 89 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 178 from 179.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 89

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 17 by 89, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 320.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 172 / 89

Moving on to step 6:
The number 89 fits into 172 1 times, leaving a remainder of 83.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3201.0
The remainder is 83 after subtracting 89 from 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 89 fits into 830 9 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3201.9
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 801 from 830.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 290 by 89, we get 3 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3201.93
If we take 267 away from 290, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 9:
89 goes into 230 2 times with a remainder of 52.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3201.932
If we subtract 178 from 230, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 520 by 89, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3201.9325
Subtracting 445 from 520 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 89 fits into 750 8 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3201.93258
Deduct 712 from 750 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 380 by 89, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3201.932584
Subtract 356 from 380 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 240 by 89, we get 2 with a remainder of 62.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3201.9325842
Subtract 178 from 240 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 89 fits into 620 6 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3201.93258426
Deduct 534 from 620 and we're left with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3201.93258426 with a remaining 8.6e-08.
