We divide 16687228 by 231
We want to divide 16687228 by 231.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 231 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 231

Step 2:
When dividing 16 by 231, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 166 / 231

Going ahead to step 3:
231 can be fit into 166 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 166.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 166 after subtracting 0 from 166.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 166 and repeat the process: 1668 / 231

On to step 4:
231 goes into 1668 7 times with a remainder of 51.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 1617 from 1668.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 517 / 231

On to step 5:
The number 231 fits into 517 2 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72.0
If we take 462 away from 517, we end up with 55.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 552 / 231

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 552 by 231, we get 2 and a remainder of 90.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 722.0
If we take 462 away from 552, we end up with 90.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 90, then repeat: 902 / 231

Let's proceed to step 7:
902 divided by 231 is 3 with a remainder of 209.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7223.0
The remainder is 209 after subtracting 693 from 902.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 209 and continue: 2098 / 231

Let's proceed to step 8:
2098 divided by 231 is 9 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72239.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 2079 from 2098.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 9:
190 divided by 231 is 0 with a remainder of 190.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72239.0
The remainder is 190 after subtracting 0 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1900, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
231 goes into 1900 8 times with a remainder of 52.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72239.08
If we subtract 1848 from 1900, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
520 divided by 231 is 2 with a remainder of 58.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72239.082
Deduct 462 from 520 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 12:
580 divided by 231 is 2 with a remainder of 118.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72239.0822
Deduct 462 from 580 and we're left with 118.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 72239.0822 with a balance of 0.00118.
