Let's divide 256846 by 86
Let's see how many times 86 fits into 256846.

Let's proceed to step 1:
86 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 86

Moving on to step 2:
25 divided by 86 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 256 / 86

Going ahead to step 3:
256 divided by 86 is 2 with a remainder of 84.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 172 from 256 leaves us with 84.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 84 and continue: 848 / 86

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 848 by 86, we get 9 with a remainder of 74.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we subtract 774 from 848, we get 74.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 74 and continue: 744 / 86

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 86 fits into 744 8 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 298.0
Subtract 688 from 744 to get 56.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 566 / 86

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 566 by 86, we get 6 and a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2986.0
If we subtract 516 from 566, we get 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:
86 can be fit into 500 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2986.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 700 by 86, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2986.58
Subtracting 688 from 700 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
86 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2986.581
Deduct 86 from 120 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
86 goes into 340 3 times with a remainder of 82.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2986.5813
If we take 258 away from 340, we end up 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.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2986.58139
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.

Step 12:
86 can be fit into 460 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2986.581395
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 430 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 86 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2986.5813953
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.

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: 2986.58139534
Subtracting 344 from 420 leaves us with 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 2986.58139534 with a remainder of 7.6e-08.
