We're dividing 231471 by 57 
Our goal is to divide 231471 by 57.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 57 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 57

Moving on to step 2:
57 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 231 / 57

Step 3:
The number 57 fits into 231 4 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 228 from 231, we get 3.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 34 / 57

On to step 4:
57 goes into 34 0 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtracting 0 from 34 leaves us with 34.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 347 / 57

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 347 by 57, we get 6 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 406.0
Subtracting 342 from 347 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 57

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 51 by 57, we get 0 and a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4060.0
Subtracting 0 from 51 leaves us with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
57 goes into 510 8 times with a remainder of 54.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4060.8
If we take 456 away from 510, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
57 goes into 540 9 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4060.89
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 513 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 270 by 57, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4060.894
Subtract 228 from 270 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 420 by 57, we get 7 and a remainder of 21.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4060.8947
If we subtract 399 from 420, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 210 by 57, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4060.89473
If we take 171 away from 210, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
57 goes into 390 6 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4060.894736
Deduct 342 from 390 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 57 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4060.8947368
Deduct 456 from 480 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 14:
240 divided by 57 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4060.89473684
If we take 228 away from 240, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4060.89473684 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
