Let's divide 208851 by 10
We want to divide 208851 by 10.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 10, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 10

Advancing to step 2:
The number 10 fits into 20 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 20 from 20 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 10

Going ahead to step 3:
10 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 10

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 88 by 10, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 208.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 80 from 88.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 10

Moving on to step 5:
10 goes into 85 8 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2088.0
If we subtract 80 from 85, we get 5.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 51 / 10

Step 6:
The number 10 fits into 51 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20885.0
Subtracting 50 from 51 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
10 divided by 10 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20885.1
Deduct 10 from 10 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
10 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20885.1
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 10, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20885.1
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 20885.1, with a leftover of 0.0.
