Let's divide 256728 by 86
We want to divide 256728 by 86.

Moving on to step 1:
86 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 86

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 86, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 256 / 86

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 256 by 86, we get 2 and a remainder of 84.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 172 from 256.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 84 and continue with: 847 / 86

Step 4:
When dividing 847 by 86, we get 9 with a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 774 from 847.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 732 / 86

Let's proceed to step 5:
86 can be fit into 732 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 298.0
Subtracting 688 from 732 leaves us with 44.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 448 / 86

On to step 6:
86 can be fit into 448 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2985.0
If we subtract 430 from 448, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
86 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2985.2
If we subtract 172 from 180, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
86 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2985.2
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 800 by 86, we get 9 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2985.209
Subtract 774 from 800 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
86 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2985.2093
Subtracting 258 from 260 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
20 divided by 86 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2985.2093
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
86 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2985.209302
If we subtract 172 from 200, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
280 divided by 86 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2985.2093023
If we take 258 away from 280, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 220 by 86, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2985.20930232
Subtract 172 from 220 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2985.20930232 with a remaining 4.8e-08.
