We're dividing 120488 by 86 
We want to figure out the number of times 120488 can be divided by 86.

Let's proceed to step 1:
86 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 86

Let's proceed to step 2:
86 goes into 12 0 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 120 / 86

Step 3:
The number 86 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 86 from 120, we get 34.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 344 / 86

Moving on to step 4:
86 goes into 344 4 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 344 from 344.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 86

Advancing to step 5:
86 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 140.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 86

Going ahead to step 6:
88 divided by 86 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1401.0
If we subtract 86 from 88, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 86 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1401.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
200 divided by 86 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1401.02
Subtracting 172 from 200 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 86, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1401.023
Subtracting 258 from 280 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
86 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1401.0232
If we subtract 172 from 220, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 11:
86 goes into 480 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1401.02325
If we take 430 away from 480, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 500 by 86, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1401.023255
Subtracting 430 from 500 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1401.023255 and a remainder of 7e-06.
