We're dividing 231487 by 89 
Our goal is to divide 231487 by 89.

Moving on to step 1:
89 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 89

Moving on to step 2:
89 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 231 / 89

Step 3:
If we divide 231 by 89, we get 2 and a remainder of 53.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 178 from 231 to get 53.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 534 / 89

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 534 by 89, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 534 from 534.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 89

Step 5:
89 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: 260.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 89

Advancing to step 6:
87 divided by 89 is 0 with a remainder of 87.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2600.0
The remainder is 87 after subtracting 0 from 87.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 870 by 89, we get 9 with a remainder of 69.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2600.9
If we take 801 away from 870, we end up with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
89 can be fit into 690 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2600.97
Subtracting 623 from 690 leaves us with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 670 by 89, we get 7 and a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2600.977
Subtract 623 from 670 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2600.977, with a leftover of 0.0047.
