Let's divide 423472 by 215
Let's see how many times 215 fits into 423472.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 215, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 215

Advancing to step 2:
215 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 42 and we're left with 42.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 423 / 215

Moving on to step 3:
The number 215 fits into 423 1 times, leaving a remainder of 208.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 215 away from 423, we end up with 208.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 208 and repeat the process: 2084 / 215

On to step 4:
2084 divided by 215 is 9 with a remainder of 149.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtract 1935 from 2084 to get 149.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 149 and repeat the process: 1497 / 215

Moving on to step 5:
215 can be fit into 1497 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 207.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 196.0
Subtracting 1290 from 1497 leaves us with 207.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 207, then repeat: 2072 / 215

Step 6:
The number 215 fits into 2072 9 times, leaving a remainder of 137.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1969.0
Subtracting 1935 from 2072 leaves us with 137.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
215 goes into 1370 6 times with a remainder of 80.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1969.6
Subtracting 1290 from 1370 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 800 by 215, we get 3 with a remainder of 155.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1969.63
Subtract 645 from 800 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 215 fits into 1550 7 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1969.637
Deduct 1505 from 1550 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 215 fits into 450 2 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1969.6372
If we subtract 430 from 450, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
215 goes into 200 0 times with a remainder of 200.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1969.6372
Deduct 0 from 200 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
215 goes into 2000 9 times with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1969.637209
Deduct 1935 from 2000 and we're left with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Step 13:
215 goes into 650 3 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1969.6372093
If we subtract 645 from 650, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 215 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1969.6372093
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The final result is 1969.6372093 with a remainder of 5e-08.
