5248642 ÷ 284 
We want to divide 5248642 by 284.

Going ahead to step 1:
284 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 284

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 52 by 284, we get 0 and a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 0 from 52.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 524 / 284

Step 3:
284 goes into 524 1 times with a remainder of 240.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 284 from 524 to get 240.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 240, then carry on: 2408 / 284

Advancing to step 4:
The number 284 fits into 2408 8 times, leaving a remainder of 136.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 2272 from 2408, we get 136.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 136 and continue with: 1366 / 284

On to step 5:
284 can be fit into 1366 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 230.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 184.0
If we subtract 1136 from 1366, we get 230.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 230, then repeat: 2304 / 284

Step 6:
284 can be fit into 2304 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1848.0
Deduct 2272 from 2304 and we're left with 32.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 322 / 284

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 322 by 284, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18481.0
If we take 284 away from 322, we end up 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 8:
284 can be fit into 380 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18481.1
Subtracting 284 from 380 leaves us with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
960 divided by 284 is 3 with a remainder of 108.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18481.13
Subtracting 852 from 960 leaves us with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
284 can be fit into 1080 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 228.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18481.133
Subtract 852 from 1080 to get 228.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2280, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18481.133 and a remainder of 0.0228.
