217872 ÷ 14 
We want to divide 217872 by 14.

Step 1:
14 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.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 14

Let's proceed to step 2:
14 can be fit into 21 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 14 away from 21, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 77 / 14

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 77 by 14, we get 5 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 70 away from 77, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 14

Let's proceed to step 4:
14 can be fit into 78 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 155.0
Subtract 70 from 78 to get 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 14

Let's proceed to step 5:
87 divided by 14 is 6 with a remainder of 3.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1556.0
Subtract 84 from 87 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 32 / 14

Let's proceed to step 6:
32 divided by 14 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15562.0
If we subtract 28 from 32, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 7:
14 can be fit into 40 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15562.2
If we take 28 away from 40, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
120 divided by 14 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 15562.28
Subtract 112 from 120 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 14, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15562.285
Subtracting 70 from 80 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.

Step 10:
14 can be fit into 100 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15562.2857
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 98 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
20 divided by 14 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15562.28571
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 14 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
60 divided by 14 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15562.285714
If we subtract 56 from 60, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
40 divided by 14 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15562.2857142
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 28 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
120 divided by 14 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15562.28571428
Deduct 112 from 120 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15562.28571428 with a remaining 8e-09.
