Let's divide 1461886 by 231
We're looking to find how many times 231 goes into 1461886.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 231 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 231

Going ahead to step 2:
231 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 146 / 231

Advancing to step 3:
231 can be fit into 146 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 146.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 146 leaves us with 146.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 146 and repeat the process: 1461 / 231

Moving on to step 4:
231 goes into 1461 6 times with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 1386 from 1461 to get 75.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 75 and continue: 758 / 231

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 231 fits into 758 3 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 63.0
Deduct 693 from 758 and we're left with 65.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 65 and repeat the process: 658 / 231

Advancing to step 6:
231 can be fit into 658 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 196.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 632.0
The remainder is 196 after subtracting 462 from 658.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 196, then repeat: 1966 / 231

Step 7:
The number 231 fits into 1966 8 times, leaving a remainder of 118.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6328.0
Subtracting 1848 from 1966 leaves us with 118.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 1180 by 231, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6328.5
If we subtract 1155 from 1180, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 231 fits into 250 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6328.51
Subtract 231 from 250 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
231 can be fit into 190 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 190.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6328.51
The remainder is 190 after subtracting 0 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1900, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
1900 divided by 231 is 8 with a remainder of 52.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6328.5108
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 1848 from 1900.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 231 fits into 520 2 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6328.51082
If we subtract 462 from 520, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 580 by 231, we get 2 and a remainder of 118.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6328.510822
If we subtract 462 from 580, we get 118.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6328.510822 with a remaining 1.18e-05.
