Let's divide 8696742 by 284
We want to divide 8696742 by 284.

Going ahead to step 1:
8 divided by 284 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 86 / 284

Going ahead to step 2:
284 goes into 86 0 times with a remainder of 86.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 0 from 86.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 86 and continue: 869 / 284

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 869 by 284, we get 3 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 852 from 869 and we're left with 17.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 176 / 284

On to step 4:
176 divided by 284 is 0 with a remainder of 176.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtracting 0 from 176 leaves us with 176.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 176 and continue with: 1767 / 284

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 1767 by 284, we get 6 with a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 306.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 1704 from 1767.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 634 / 284

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 284 fits into 634 2 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3062.0
Subtracting 568 from 634 leaves us with 66.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 66, then repeat: 662 / 284

Let's proceed to step 7:
284 can be fit into 662 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 94.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30622.0
Deduct 568 from 662 and we're left with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Step 8:
940 divided by 284 is 3 with a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 30622.3
The remainder is 88 after subtracting 852 from 940.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 880 by 284, we get 3 and a remainder of 28.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30622.33
Subtract 852 from 880 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 30622.33, with a leftover of 0.028.
