We're dividing 2785868 by 143 
Our goal is to divide 2785868 by 143.

On to step 1:
The number 143 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 143

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 143 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 143

Let's proceed to step 3:
278 divided by 143 is 1 with a remainder of 135.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 143 from 278 and we're left with 135.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 135 and repeat the process: 1355 / 143

On to step 4:
1355 divided by 143 is 9 with a remainder of 68.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we subtract 1287 from 1355, we get 68.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 68, then carry on: 688 / 143

Step 5:
143 goes into 688 4 times with a remainder of 116.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 194.0
Deduct 572 from 688 and we're left with 116.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 116 and repeat the process: 1166 / 143

On to step 6:
If we divide 1166 by 143, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1948.0
If we subtract 1144 from 1166, we get 22.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 228 / 143

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 228 by 143, we get 1 with a remainder of 85.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19481.0
The remainder is 85 after subtracting 143 from 228.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
850 divided by 143 is 5 with a remainder of 135.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19481.5
Subtracting 715 from 850 leaves us with 135.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
1350 divided by 143 is 9 with a remainder of 63.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19481.59
If we subtract 1287 from 1350, we get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
143 goes into 630 4 times with a remainder of 58.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19481.594
Subtract 572 from 630 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
143 can be fit into 580 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19481.5944
Subtract 572 from 580 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 19481.5944, with a leftover of 8e-05.
