We divide 85973144 by 248
Our goal is to divide 85973144 by 248.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 248 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 85 / 248

Let's proceed to step 2:
248 can be fit into 85 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 85 and we're left with 85.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 85, then carry on: 859 / 248

Step 3:
If we divide 859 by 248, we get 3 and a remainder of 115.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 744 from 859, we get 115.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 115, then carry on: 1157 / 248

On to step 4:
The number 248 fits into 1157 4 times, leaving a remainder of 165.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we take 992 away from 1157, we end up with 165.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 165, then carry on: 1653 / 248

Going ahead to step 5:
1653 divided by 248 is 6 with a remainder of 165.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 346.0
The remainder is 165 after subtracting 1488 from 1653.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 165 and continue with: 1651 / 248

On to step 6:
248 goes into 1651 6 times with a remainder of 163.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3466.0
Deduct 1488 from 1651 and we're left with 163.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 163 and continue with: 1634 / 248

Advancing to step 7:
248 goes into 1634 6 times with a remainder of 146.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34666.0
The remainder is 146 after subtracting 1488 from 1634.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 146 and continue: 1464 / 248

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 1464 by 248, we get 5 and a remainder of 224.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 346665.0
Deduct 1240 from 1464 and we're left with 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 2240 by 248, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 346665.9
Subtracting 2232 from 2240 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
80 divided by 248 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 346665.9
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up 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 11:
248 goes into 800 3 times with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 346665.903
If we take 744 away from 800, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 248 fits into 560 2 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 346665.9032
Subtract 496 from 560 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 248 fits into 640 2 times, leaving a remainder of 144.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 346665.90322
Deduct 496 from 640 and we're left with 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

The final result is 346665.90322 with a remainder of 0.000144.
