Let's divide 246871 by 86
We're looking to find how many times 86 goes into 246871.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 86 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 86

Advancing to step 2:
24 divided by 86 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 246 / 86

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 86 fits into 246 2 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 172 away from 246, we end up with 74.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 74, then carry on: 748 / 86

On to step 4:
748 divided by 86 is 8 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 688 from 748 to get 60.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 60 and continue: 607 / 86

Step 5:
86 goes into 607 7 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 287.0
If we subtract 602 from 607, we get 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 86

Moving on to step 6:
86 goes into 51 0 times with a remainder of 51.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2870.0
Subtracting 0 from 51 leaves us with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
86 can be fit into 510 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2870.5
Subtracting 430 from 510 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
86 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2870.59
Deduct 774 from 800 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 260 by 86, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2870.593
Subtract 258 from 260 to 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.

On to step 10:
20 divided by 86 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2870.593
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 86, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2870.59302
Subtract 172 from 200 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 280 by 86, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2870.593023
If we take 258 away from 280, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 220 by 86, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2870.5930232
Deduct 172 from 220 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
480 divided by 86 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2870.59302325
Subtract 430 from 480 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2870.59302325, and the remainder is 5e-08.
