Let's divide 238471 by 89
We want to figure out the number of times 238471 can be divided by 89.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 89, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 89

Moving on to step 2:
89 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 238 / 89

Going ahead to step 3:
89 goes into 238 2 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 178 from 238 to get 60.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 60, then repeat: 604 / 89

On to step 4:
89 goes into 604 6 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we take 534 away from 604, we end up with 70.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 70, then repeat: 707 / 89

Advancing to step 5:
707 divided by 89 is 7 with a remainder of 84.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 267.0
Deduct 623 from 707 and we're left with 84.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 84, then repeat: 841 / 89

On to step 6:
When dividing 841 by 89, we get 9 with a remainder of 40.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2679.0
Subtracting 801 from 841 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
400 divided by 89 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2679.4
Subtract 356 from 400 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
89 goes into 440 4 times with a remainder of 84.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2679.44
Subtract 356 from 440 to 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.

Our division results in 2679.44 with a remaining 0.084.
