Let's divide 860489 by 231
We want to divide 860489 by 231.

Let's proceed to step 1:
231 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 86 / 231

Moving on to step 2:
231 can be fit into 86 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 86, we end up with 86.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 86, then repeat: 860 / 231

Going ahead to step 3:
860 divided by 231 is 3 with a remainder of 167.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 693 away from 860, we end up with 167.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 167 and continue: 1674 / 231

On to step 4:
When dividing 1674 by 231, we get 7 with a remainder of 57.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 1617 from 1674.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 578 / 231

Step 5:
578 divided by 231 is 2 with a remainder of 116.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 372.0
Deduct 462 from 578 and we're left with 116.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 116 and continue: 1169 / 231

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 1169 by 231, we get 5 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3725.0
If we take 1155 away from 1169, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 140 by 231, we get 0 with a remainder of 140.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3725.0
The remainder is 140 after subtracting 0 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
231 can be fit into 1400 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3725.06
If we subtract 1386 from 1400, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
231 goes into 140 0 times with a remainder of 140.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3725.06
Deduct 0 from 140 and we're left with 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
1400 divided by 231 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3725.0606
Deduct 1386 from 1400 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
231 goes into 140 0 times with a remainder of 140.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3725.0606
The remainder is 140 after subtracting 0 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 1400 by 231, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3725.060606
Subtract 1386 from 1400 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 140 by 231, we get 0 and a remainder of 140.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3725.060606
Subtract 0 from 140 to get 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
1400 divided by 231 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3725.06060606
If we subtract 1386 from 1400, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3725.06060606 with a remaining 1.4e-08.
