We divide 2271987 by 531
Let's see how many times 531 fits into 2271987.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 531, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 531

Advancing to step 2:
22 divided by 531 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 22, we end up with 22.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 227 / 531

On to step 3:
The number 531 fits into 227 0 times, leaving a remainder of 227.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 227 and we're left with 227.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 227 and continue: 2271 / 531

On to step 4:
The number 531 fits into 2271 4 times, leaving a remainder of 147.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 2124 from 2271 and we're left with 147.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 147 and continue: 1479 / 531

Advancing to step 5:
531 can be fit into 1479 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 417.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 1062 from 1479 and we're left with 417.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 417 and continue with: 4178 / 531

Advancing to step 6:
531 goes into 4178 7 times with a remainder of 461.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 427.0
If we subtract 3717 from 4178, we get 461.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 461 and repeat the process: 4617 / 531

On to step 7:
If we divide 4617 by 531, we get 8 and a remainder of 369.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4278.0
Deduct 4248 from 4617 and we're left with 369.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3690, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
3690 divided by 531 is 6 with a remainder of 504.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4278.6
Subtracting 3186 from 3690 leaves us with 504.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5040, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 531 fits into 5040 9 times, leaving a remainder of 261.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4278.69
If we take 4779 away from 5040, we end up with 261.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2610, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
531 can be fit into 2610 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 486.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4278.694
If we subtract 2124 from 2610, we get 486.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4860, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
4860 divided by 531 is 9 with a remainder of 81.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4278.6949
Subtract 4779 from 4860 to get 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 531 fits into 810 1 times, leaving a remainder of 279.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4278.69491
Subtracting 531 from 810 leaves us with 279.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2790, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
531 can be fit into 2790 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 135.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4278.694915
If we subtract 2655 from 2790, we get 135.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1350, and continue the process.

Step 14:
531 goes into 1350 2 times with a remainder of 288.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4278.6949152
Subtracting 1062 from 1350 leaves us with 288.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2880, and continue the process.

Step 15:
2880 divided by 531 is 5 with a remainder of 225.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4278.69491525
Deduct 2655 from 2880 and we're left with 225.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2250, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4278.69491525 with a balance of 2.25e-07.
