270983 ÷ 86 
Our goal is to divide 270983 by 86.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 86, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 86

Going ahead to step 2:
86 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 270 / 86

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 86 fits into 270 3 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 258 from 270 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 86

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 129 by 86, we get 1 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 86 away from 129, we end up with 43.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 438 / 86

Let's proceed to step 5:
86 can be fit into 438 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 315.0
If we subtract 430 from 438, we get 8.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 83 / 86

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 83 by 86, we get 0 and a remainder of 83.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3150.0
Subtracting 0 from 83 leaves us with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 86 fits into 830 9 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3150.9
If we subtract 774 from 830, 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 8:
If we divide 560 by 86, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3150.96
If we take 516 away from 560, we end up with 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 9:
When dividing 440 by 86, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3150.965
Subtract 430 from 440 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 86 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3150.9651
Subtracting 86 from 100 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 140 by 86, we get 1 with a remainder of 54.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3150.96511
Subtract 86 from 140 to get 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 3150.96511 with a remaining 5.4e-05.
