Let's divide 257703 by 86
Let's see how many times 86 fits into 257703.

Advancing to step 1:
86 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 86

Let's proceed to step 2:
86 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 257 / 86

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 257 by 86, we get 2 with a remainder of 85.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 172 from 257 to get 85.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 85, then repeat: 857 / 86

On to step 4:
When dividing 857 by 86, we get 9 with a remainder of 83.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 774 away from 857, we end up with 83.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 83 and repeat the process: 830 / 86

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 830 by 86, we get 9 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 299.0
If we subtract 774 from 830, we get 56.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 563 / 86

Step 6:
86 goes into 563 6 times with a remainder of 47.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2996.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 516 from 563.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 470 by 86, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2996.5
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 430 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
86 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 56.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2996.54
If we subtract 344 from 400, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
560 divided by 86 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2996.546
If we subtract 516 from 560, we 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 440 by 86, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2996.5465
Subtracting 430 from 440 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 86 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2996.54651
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 86 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
140 divided by 86 is 1 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2996.546511
Deduct 86 from 140 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2996.546511 with a remaining 5.4e-06.
