298874 ÷ 86 
Our goal is to divide 298874 by 86.

Moving on to step 1:
86 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 86

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 29 by 86, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 298 / 86

Let's proceed to step 3:
298 divided by 86 is 3 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 258 from 298.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 408 / 86

Moving on to step 4:
86 can be fit into 408 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we subtract 344 from 408, we get 64.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 647 / 86

Step 5:
86 can be fit into 647 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 347.0
If we subtract 602 from 647, we get 45.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 454 / 86

Going ahead to step 6:
454 divided by 86 is 5 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3475.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 430 from 454.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 7:
86 can be fit into 240 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3475.2
Subtracting 172 from 240 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
86 goes into 680 7 times with a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3475.27
If we take 602 away from 680, we end up with 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 9:
86 can be fit into 780 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3475.279
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 774 from 780.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
86 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3475.279
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
86 goes into 600 6 times with a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3475.27906
Deduct 516 from 600 and we're left with 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 12:
840 divided by 86 is 9 with a remainder of 66.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3475.279069
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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 660 by 86, we get 7 and a remainder of 58.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3475.2790697
Subtracting 602 from 660 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
86 can be fit into 580 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3475.27906976
Subtract 516 from 580 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3475.27906976 with a remaining 6.4e-08.
