Let's divide 233472 by 86
Our goal is to divide 233472 by 86.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 86 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 86

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 86 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 233 / 86

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 233 by 86, we get 2 and a remainder of 61.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 172 from 233.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 614 / 86

Moving on to step 4:
614 divided by 86 is 7 with a remainder of 12.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 602 away from 614, we end up with 12.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 127 / 86

Advancing to step 5:
The number 86 fits into 127 1 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 271.0
Deduct 86 from 127 and we're left with 41.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 412 / 86

On to step 6:
The number 86 fits into 412 4 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2714.0
Deduct 344 from 412 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
680 divided by 86 is 7 with a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2714.7
If we subtract 602 from 680, we get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 780 by 86, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2714.79
Subtracting 774 from 780 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 86 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2714.79
Subtracting 0 from 60 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.

On to step 10:
600 divided by 86 is 6 with a remainder of 84.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2714.7906
Deduct 516 from 600 and we're left with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 86 fits into 840 9 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2714.79069
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 774 from 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 86 fits into 660 7 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2714.790697
Subtract 602 from 660 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 580 by 86, we get 6 with a remainder of 64.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2714.7906976
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 516 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
640 divided by 86 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2714.79069767
Deduct 602 from 640 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2714.79069767 and a remainder of 3.8e-08.
