231988 ÷ 64 
We're looking to find how many times 64 goes into 231988.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 64 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 64

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 64 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 231 / 64

Moving on to step 3:
The number 64 fits into 231 3 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 192 from 231 leaves us with 39.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 399 / 64

On to step 4:
64 goes into 399 6 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we take 384 away from 399, we end up with 15.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 64

Advancing to step 5:
64 can be fit into 158 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 362.0
Deduct 128 from 158 and we're left with 30.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 308 / 64

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 64 fits into 308 4 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3624.0
If we subtract 256 from 308, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
64 goes into 520 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3624.8
Subtract 512 from 520 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
80 divided by 64 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3624.81
If we subtract 64 from 80, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 64, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3624.812
If we take 128 away from 160, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
64 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3624.8125
Subtracting 320 from 320 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 11:
64 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3624.8125
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 0 by 64, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3624.8125
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3624.8125 with a remaining 0.0.
