We're dividing 208746 by 96 
We're looking to find how many times 96 goes into 208746.

On to step 1:
The number 96 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 96

On to step 2:
The number 96 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 208 / 96

Step 3:
96 goes into 208 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 192 from 208, we get 16.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 96

Moving on to step 4:
167 divided by 96 is 1 with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 96 away from 167, we end up with 71.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 714 / 96

Moving on to step 5:
96 goes into 714 7 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 217.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 672 from 714.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 426 / 96

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 426 by 96, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2174.0
Subtracting 384 from 426 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 7:
420 divided by 96 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2174.4
If we subtract 384 from 420, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
360 divided by 96 is 3 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2174.43
Deduct 288 from 360 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 720 by 96, we get 7 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2174.437
Deduct 672 from 720 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 10:
480 divided by 96 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2174.4375
Deduct 480 from 480 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 96, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2174.4375
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 0 by 96, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2174.4375
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2174.4375 with a balance of 0.0.
