We divide 217821 by 89
We want to divide 217821 by 89.

Step 1:
89 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 89

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 89, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 217 / 89

On to step 3:
When dividing 217 by 89, we get 2 with a remainder of 39.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 178 away from 217, we end up with 39.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 398 / 89

Moving on to step 4:
89 can be fit into 398 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 356 from 398.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 422 / 89

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 422 by 89, we get 4 with a remainder of 66.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 244.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 356 from 422.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 66 and repeat the process: 661 / 89

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 661 by 89, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2447.0
Deduct 623 from 661 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
89 can be fit into 380 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2447.4
Deduct 356 from 380 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 240 by 89, we get 2 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2447.42
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 178 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 89 fits into 620 6 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2447.426
Subtract 534 from 620 to get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Step 10:
89 can be fit into 860 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2447.4269
Subtract 801 from 860 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
89 can be fit into 590 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2447.42696
Subtract 534 from 590 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 560 by 89, we get 6 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2447.426966
Subtracting 534 from 560 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

The final result is 2447.426966 with a remainder of 2.6e-06.
