We're dividing 16988439 by 236 
Our goal is to divide 16988439 by 236.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 236, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 236

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 16 by 236, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 169 / 236

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 169 by 236, we get 0 with a remainder of 169.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 169 and we're left with 169.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 169 and continue: 1698 / 236

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 236 fits into 1698 7 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 1652 from 1698 leaves us with 46.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 468 / 236

Moving on to step 5:
468 divided by 236 is 1 with a remainder of 232.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71.0
The remainder is 232 after subtracting 236 from 468.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 232 and repeat the process: 2324 / 236

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 2324 by 236, we get 9 with a remainder of 200.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 719.0
If we take 2124 away from 2324, we end up with 200.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 200 and continue: 2003 / 236

Let's proceed to step 7:
236 goes into 2003 8 times with a remainder of 115.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7198.0
The remainder is 115 after subtracting 1888 from 2003.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 115 and continue: 1159 / 236

Step 8:
236 goes into 1159 4 times with a remainder of 215.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71984.0
The remainder is 215 after subtracting 944 from 1159.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 2150 by 236, we get 9 with a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71984.9
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 2124 from 2150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 236 fits into 260 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 71984.91
If we take 236 away from 260, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
236 can be fit into 240 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 71984.911
Deduct 236 from 240 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 71984.911 with a balance of 0.0004.
