Let's divide 617262 by 231
We want to divide 617262 by 231.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 231, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 61 / 231

On to step 2:
If we divide 61 by 231, we get 0 and a remainder of 61.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 61, we get 61.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 617 / 231

Step 3:
231 goes into 617 2 times with a remainder of 155.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 462 from 617 to get 155.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 155, then repeat: 1552 / 231

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 1552 by 231, we get 6 with a remainder of 166.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we subtract 1386 from 1552, we get 166.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 166, then repeat: 1666 / 231

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 1666 by 231, we get 7 and a remainder of 49.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 267.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 1617 from 1666.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 492 / 231

Step 6:
When dividing 492 by 231, we get 2 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2672.0
Subtracting 462 from 492 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 300 by 231, we get 1 and a remainder of 69.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2672.1
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 231 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 231 fits into 690 2 times, leaving a remainder of 228.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2672.12
Subtract 462 from 690 to get 228.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
231 goes into 2280 9 times with a remainder of 201.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2672.129
Subtracting 2079 from 2280 leaves us with 201.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2010, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 2010 by 231, we get 8 with a remainder of 162.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2672.1298
If we subtract 1848 from 2010, we get 162.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 231 fits into 1620 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2672.12987
If we take 1617 away from 1620, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 30 by 231, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2672.12987
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
300 divided by 231 is 1 with a remainder of 69.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2672.1298701
Subtracting 231 from 300 leaves us 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 14:
The number 231 fits into 690 2 times, leaving a remainder of 228.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2672.12987012
If we subtract 462 from 690, we get 228.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2672.12987012 with a remaining 2.28e-07.
