We divide 218754 by 428
We want to figure out the number of times 218754 can be divided by 428.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 428 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 428

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 428 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 218 / 428

Advancing to step 3:
The number 428 fits into 218 0 times, leaving a remainder of 218.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 218, we get 218.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 218 and continue with: 2187 / 428

Step 4:
The number 428 fits into 2187 5 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 2140 from 2187 leaves us with 47.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 475 / 428

Let's proceed to step 5:
428 can be fit into 475 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 51.0
If we subtract 428 from 475, we get 47.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 474 / 428

Step 6:
428 can be fit into 474 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 511.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 428 from 474.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 460 by 428, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 511.1
Deduct 428 from 460 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
428 can be fit into 320 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 320.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 511.1
Subtract 0 from 320 to get 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
3200 divided by 428 is 7 with a remainder of 204.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 511.107
If we take 2996 away from 3200, we end up with 204.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2040, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 2040 by 428, we get 4 and a remainder of 328.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 511.1074
Subtract 1712 from 2040 to get 328.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
428 can be fit into 3280 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 284.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 511.10747
If we subtract 2996 from 3280, we get 284.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 2840 by 428, we get 6 and a remainder of 272.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 511.107476
If we subtract 2568 from 2840, we get 272.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
428 goes into 2720 6 times with a remainder of 152.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 511.1074766
If we subtract 2568 from 2720, we get 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 511.1074766 with a balance of 1.52e-06.
