Let's divide 217488 by 10
We want to divide 217488 by 10.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 10, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 10

Moving on to step 2:
10 goes into 21 2 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 20 from 21.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 10

On to step 3:
10 can be fit into 17 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 10 from 17 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 10

Let's proceed to step 4:
10 goes into 74 7 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 217.0
If we take 70 away from 74, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 10

On to step 5:
48 divided by 10 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2174.0
Deduct 40 from 48 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 10

Step 6:
10 goes into 88 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21748.0
Deduct 80 from 88 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 80 by 10, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21748.8
If we subtract 80 from 80, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
0 divided by 10 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21748.8
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 10, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21748.8
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

The final result is 21748.8 with a remainder of 0.0.
