Let's divide 276499 by 897
Let's see how many times 897 fits into 276499.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 897, 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 / 897

Moving on to step 2:
897 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 276 / 897

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 897 fits into 276 0 times, leaving a remainder of 276.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 276 leaves us with 276.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 276 and repeat the process: 2764 / 897

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 897 fits into 2764 3 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 2691 from 2764, we get 73.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 73, then repeat: 739 / 897

Going ahead to step 5:
897 goes into 739 0 times with a remainder of 739.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtract 0 from 739 to get 739.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 739, then carry on: 7399 / 897

Advancing to step 6:
897 can be fit into 7399 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 223.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 308.0
The remainder is 223 after subtracting 7176 from 7399.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 897 fits into 2230 2 times, leaving a remainder of 436.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 308.2
Subtracting 1794 from 2230 leaves us with 436.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
897 goes into 4360 4 times with a remainder of 772.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 308.24
Subtracting 3588 from 4360 leaves us with 772.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7720, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
897 can be fit into 7720 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 544.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 308.248
Deduct 7176 from 7720 and we're left with 544.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
5440 divided by 897 is 6 with a remainder of 58.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 308.2486
If we take 5382 away from 5440, we end up 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.

Step 11:
When dividing 580 by 897, we get 0 with a remainder of 580.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 308.2486
Subtract 0 from 580 to get 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5800, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 5800 by 897, we get 6 and a remainder of 418.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 308.248606
The remainder is 418 after subtracting 5382 from 5800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4180, and continue the process.

Step 13:
4180 divided by 897 is 4 with a remainder of 592.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 308.2486064
The remainder is 592 after subtracting 3588 from 4180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
897 goes into 5920 6 times with a remainder of 538.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 308.24860646
If we take 5382 away from 5920, we end up with 538.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5380, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 308.24860646 with a balance of 5.38e-07.
