We look at the division of 6872988 by 236 
Let's see how many times 236 fits into 6872988.

Going ahead to step 1:
6 divided by 236 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 236

Step 2:
If we divide 68 by 236, we get 0 and a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 68 and we're left with 68.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 68, then carry on: 687 / 236

Advancing to step 3:
236 can be fit into 687 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 215.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 472 from 687, we get 215.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 215, then repeat: 2152 / 236

Advancing to step 4:
236 goes into 2152 9 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 2124 from 2152 leaves us with 28.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 289 / 236

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 289 by 236, we get 1 with a remainder of 53.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 291.0
Subtracting 236 from 289 leaves us with 53.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 538 / 236

Moving on to step 6:
236 goes into 538 2 times with a remainder of 66.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2912.0
Deduct 472 from 538 and we're left with 66.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 668 / 236

Step 7:
236 can be fit into 668 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 196.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29122.0
The remainder is 196 after subtracting 472 from 668.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
236 goes into 1960 8 times with a remainder of 72.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29122.8
If we take 1888 away from 1960, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 720 by 236, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29122.83
Deduct 708 from 720 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 120 by 236, we get 0 and a remainder of 120.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29122.83
If we take 0 away from 120, we end up with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 236 fits into 1200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29122.8305
Deduct 1180 from 1200 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 200 by 236, we get 0 with a remainder of 200.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29122.8305
If we take 0 away from 200, we end up with 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
236 goes into 2000 8 times with a remainder of 112.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29122.830508
If we subtract 1888 from 2000, we get 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 236 fits into 1120 4 times, leaving a remainder of 176.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29122.8305084
The remainder is 176 after subtracting 944 from 1120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
1760 divided by 236 is 7 with a remainder of 108.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29122.83050847
Subtracting 1652 from 1760 leaves us with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 29122.83050847, and the remainder is 1.08e-07.
