Let's divide 218917 by 89
We want to divide 218917 by 89.

On to step 1:
The number 89 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 89

On to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 89, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 218 / 89

On to step 3:
89 goes into 218 2 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 178 away from 218, we end up with 40.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 409 / 89

Let's proceed to step 4:
409 divided by 89 is 4 with a remainder of 53.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 356 away from 409, we end up with 53.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 531 / 89

Let's proceed to step 5:
89 can be fit into 531 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 245.0
If we take 445 away from 531, we end up with 86.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 86, then carry on: 867 / 89

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 867 by 89, we get 9 and a remainder of 66.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2459.0
Subtract 801 from 867 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 660 by 89, we get 7 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2459.7
Subtracting 623 from 660 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 89 fits into 370 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2459.74
Subtract 356 from 370 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
89 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 51.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2459.741
Deduct 89 from 140 and we're left with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Step 10:
510 divided by 89 is 5 with a remainder of 65.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2459.7415
Deduct 445 from 510 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 11:
89 goes into 650 7 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2459.74157
Subtracting 623 from 650 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 270 by 89, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2459.741573
Deduct 267 from 270 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 30 by 89, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2459.741573
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
89 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2459.74157303
Deduct 267 from 300 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2459.74157303 with a remaining 3.3e-08.
