Let's divide 1608286 by 587
We want to divide 1608286 by 587.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 587, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 587

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 16 by 587, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 16 to get 16.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 160 / 587

Step 3:
587 can be fit into 160 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 160.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 160 and we're left with 160.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 160, then carry on: 1608 / 587

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 587 fits into 1608 2 times, leaving a remainder of 434.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 1174 from 1608 leaves us with 434.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 434 and continue with: 4342 / 587

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 4342 by 587, we get 7 with a remainder of 233.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 4109 from 4342, we get 233.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 233 and continue with: 2338 / 587

Advancing to step 6:
587 goes into 2338 3 times with a remainder of 577.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 273.0
If we take 1761 away from 2338, we end up with 577.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 577, then repeat: 5776 / 587

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 5776 by 587, we get 9 with a remainder of 493.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2739.0
Subtract 5283 from 5776 to get 493.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4930, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
4930 divided by 587 is 8 with a remainder of 234.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2739.8
Subtracting 4696 from 4930 leaves us with 234.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 2340 by 587, we get 3 with a remainder of 579.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2739.83
Subtracting 1761 from 2340 leaves us with 579.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5790, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
5790 divided by 587 is 9 with a remainder of 507.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2739.839
Subtract 5283 from 5790 to get 507.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5070, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 587 fits into 5070 8 times, leaving a remainder of 374.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2739.8398
Subtract 4696 from 5070 to get 374.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
3740 divided by 587 is 6 with a remainder of 218.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2739.83986
Subtracting 3522 from 3740 leaves us with 218.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 587 fits into 2180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 419.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2739.839863
Deduct 1761 from 2180 and we're left with 419.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 4190 by 587, we get 7 and a remainder of 81.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2739.8398637
The remainder is 81 after subtracting 4109 from 4190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
If we divide 810 by 587, we get 1 and a remainder of 223.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2739.83986371
If we subtract 587 from 810, we get 223.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2230, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2739.83986371 with a remaining 2.23e-07.
