Let's divide 243601 by 86
Let's see how many times 86 fits into 243601.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 86 fits into 2 0 times, leaving 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.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 86

Step 2:
The number 86 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 243 / 86

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 243 by 86, we get 2 with a remainder of 71.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 172 from 243 and we're left with 71.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 71 and continue with: 716 / 86

Going ahead to step 4:
86 can be fit into 716 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
Deduct 688 from 716 and we're left with 28.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 280 / 86

On to step 5:
280 divided by 86 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 283.0
Subtract 258 from 280 to get 22.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 221 / 86

Step 6:
If we divide 221 by 86, we get 2 and a remainder of 49.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2832.0
If we subtract 172 from 221, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
490 divided by 86 is 5 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2832.5
Subtracting 430 from 490 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
600 divided by 86 is 6 with a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2832.56
Subtract 516 from 600 to get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 840 by 86, we get 9 with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2832.569
If we subtract 774 from 840, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 86 fits into 660 7 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2832.5697
Deduct 602 from 660 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
86 can be fit into 580 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2832.56976
If we take 516 away from 580, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
86 goes into 640 7 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2832.569767
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 602 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
86 can be fit into 380 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2832.5697674
If we take 344 away from 380, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
360 divided by 86 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2832.56976744
If we take 344 away from 360, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2832.56976744 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
