Let's divide 301996 by 86
We want to divide 301996 by 86.

On to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 86, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 30 / 86

On to step 2:
86 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 301 / 86

Moving on to step 3:
86 goes into 301 3 times with a remainder of 43.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 258 from 301 leaves us with 43.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 439 / 86

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 439 by 86, we get 5 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtract 430 from 439 to get 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 86

Step 5:
86 goes into 99 1 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 351.0
Subtract 86 from 99 to get 13.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 136 / 86

On to step 6:
86 goes into 136 1 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3511.0
If we take 86 away from 136, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 86 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3511.5
If we take 430 away from 500, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
86 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3511.58
If we subtract 688 from 700, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
86 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3511.581
Subtract 86 from 120 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 340 by 86, we get 3 and a remainder of 82.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3511.5813
Subtracting 258 from 340 leaves us with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
86 goes into 820 9 times with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3511.58139
If we take 774 away from 820, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
86 can be fit into 460 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3511.581395
Subtracting 430 from 460 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.

Step 13:
86 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3511.5813953
Subtract 258 from 300 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 86 fits into 420 4 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3511.58139534
Subtract 344 from 420 to get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

The final result is 3511.58139534 with a remainder of 7.6e-08.
