We divide 8687872 by 229
Our goal is to divide 8687872 by 229.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 229 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 86 / 229

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 86 by 229, we get 0 with a remainder of 86.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 86 leaves us with 86.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 86, then repeat: 868 / 229

Let's proceed to step 3:
229 goes into 868 3 times with a remainder of 181.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 687 from 868 and we're left with 181.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 181, then repeat: 1817 / 229

Going ahead to step 4:
229 goes into 1817 7 times with a remainder of 214.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37.0
Deduct 1603 from 1817 and we're left with 214.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 214, then repeat: 2148 / 229

Moving on to step 5:
229 can be fit into 2148 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 87.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 379.0
If we take 2061 away from 2148, we end up with 87.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 87, then repeat: 877 / 229

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 229 fits into 877 3 times, leaving a remainder of 190.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3793.0
Subtract 687 from 877 to get 190.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 190, then repeat: 1902 / 229

Let's proceed to step 7:
229 goes into 1902 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37938.0
Deduct 1832 from 1902 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
700 divided by 229 is 3 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 37938.3
Subtract 687 from 700 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 130 by 229, we get 0 with a remainder of 130.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37938.3
If we take 0 away from 130, we end up with 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
1300 divided by 229 is 5 with a remainder of 155.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37938.305
Subtract 1145 from 1300 to get 155.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1550, and continue the process.

Step 11:
229 goes into 1550 6 times with a remainder of 176.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 37938.3056
The remainder is 176 after subtracting 1374 from 1550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
229 goes into 1760 7 times with a remainder of 157.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37938.30567
If we subtract 1603 from 1760, we get 157.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1570, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
229 goes into 1570 6 times with a remainder of 196.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 37938.305676
The remainder is 196 after subtracting 1374 from 1570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1960, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
1960 divided by 229 is 8 with a remainder of 128.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37938.3056768
Subtracting 1832 from 1960 leaves us with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Step 15:
229 can be fit into 1280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 135.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 37938.30567685
The remainder is 135 after subtracting 1145 from 1280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1350, and continue the process.

The final result is 37938.30567685 with a remainder of 1.35e-07.
