We divide 272857 by 57
We want to divide 272857 by 57.

Step 1:
The number 57 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 57

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 57, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 272 / 57

Step 3:
The number 57 fits into 272 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 228 from 272 and we're left with 44.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 448 / 57

Step 4:
The number 57 fits into 448 7 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 399 away from 448, we end up with 49.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 495 / 57

Step 5:
When dividing 495 by 57, we get 8 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 478.0
If we take 456 away from 495, we end up with 39.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 397 / 57

Going ahead to step 6:
57 goes into 397 6 times with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4786.0
Deduct 342 from 397 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 550 by 57, we get 9 with a remainder of 37.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4786.9
Deduct 513 from 550 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
370 divided by 57 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4786.96
Deduct 342 from 370 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 280 by 57, we get 4 and a remainder of 52.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4786.964
If we take 228 away from 280, we end up with 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:
The number 57 fits into 520 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4786.9649
Subtract 513 from 520 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 70 by 57, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4786.96491
Subtract 57 from 70 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
57 goes into 130 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4786.964912
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 114 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 160 by 57, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4786.9649122
Subtracting 114 from 160 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4786.9649122, and the remainder is 4.6e-07.
