Let's divide 431473 by 86
Our goal is to divide 431473 by 86.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 86 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 43 / 86

On to step 2:
If we divide 43 by 86, we get 0 and a remainder of 43.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 43 leaves us with 43.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 431 / 86

Moving on to step 3:
The number 86 fits into 431 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 430 from 431, we get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 86

On to step 4:
The number 86 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 147 / 86

Step 5:
When dividing 147 by 86, we get 1 with a remainder of 61.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 501.0
Subtract 86 from 147 to get 61.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 613 / 86

On to step 6:
613 divided by 86 is 7 with a remainder of 11.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5017.0
Deduct 602 from 613 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 86, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5017.1
If we subtract 86 from 110, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 86 fits into 240 2 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5017.12
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 172 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 86 fits into 680 7 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5017.127
Subtract 602 from 680 to get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 780 by 86, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5017.1279
Deduct 774 from 780 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 11:
86 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5017.1279
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
86 goes into 600 6 times with a remainder of 84.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5017.127906
If we subtract 516 from 600, we get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
86 can be fit into 840 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5017.1279069
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 774 from 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
660 divided by 86 is 7 with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5017.12790697
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 602 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5017.12790697 and a remainder of 5.8e-08.
