85887988 ÷ 231 
Our goal is to divide 85887988 by 231.

Advancing to step 1:
231 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 231

Let's proceed to step 2:
231 can be fit into 85 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 85 to get 85.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 85, then carry on: 858 / 231

Step 3:
858 divided by 231 is 3 with a remainder of 165.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 693 away from 858, we end up with 165.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 165 and repeat the process: 1658 / 231

Step 4:
1658 divided by 231 is 7 with a remainder of 41.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Subtract 1617 from 1658 to get 41.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 417 / 231

Step 5:
231 goes into 417 1 times with a remainder of 186.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 371.0
The remainder is 186 after subtracting 231 from 417.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 186 and continue: 1869 / 231

Advancing to step 6:
The number 231 fits into 1869 8 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3718.0
Subtract 1848 from 1869 to get 21.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 218 / 231

Moving on to step 7:
231 can be fit into 218 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 218.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37180.0
The remainder is 218 after subtracting 0 from 218.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 218, then repeat: 2188 / 231

Let's proceed to step 8:
231 can be fit into 2188 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 109.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 371809.0
The remainder is 109 after subtracting 2079 from 2188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1090, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 231 fits into 1090 4 times, leaving a remainder of 166.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 371809.4
If we subtract 924 from 1090, we get 166.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 1660 by 231, we get 7 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 371809.47
Subtract 1617 from 1660 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 11:
430 divided by 231 is 1 with a remainder of 199.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 371809.471
Deduct 231 from 430 and we're left with 199.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1990, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
231 goes into 1990 8 times with a remainder of 142.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 371809.4718
If we take 1848 away from 1990, we end up with 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
1420 divided by 231 is 6 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 371809.47186
If we subtract 1386 from 1420, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
231 can be fit into 340 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 109.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 371809.471861
Deduct 231 from 340 and we're left with 109.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1090, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 1090 by 231, we get 4 with a remainder of 166.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 371809.4718614
Subtracting 924 from 1090 leaves us with 166.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
The number 231 fits into 1660 7 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 371809.47186147
If we take 1617 away from 1660, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 371809.47186147, and the remainder is 4.3e-08.
