Let's divide 231188 by 86
We want to figure out the number of times 231188 can be divided by 86.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 86, we get 0 and 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.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 86

Going ahead to step 2:
86 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 231 / 86

Let's proceed to step 3:
231 divided by 86 is 2 with a remainder of 59.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 172 from 231 to get 59.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 591 / 86

Going ahead to step 4:
86 goes into 591 6 times with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 26.0
Deduct 516 from 591 and we're left with 75.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 75 and continue: 758 / 86

Moving on to step 5:
758 divided by 86 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 268.0
Subtract 688 from 758 to get 70.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 708 / 86

Step 6:
When dividing 708 by 86, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2688.0
Subtracting 688 from 708 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 200 by 86, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2688.2
If we take 172 away from 200, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 86, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2688.23
Subtracting 258 from 280 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 220 by 86, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2688.232
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 172 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
86 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2688.2325
If we take 430 away from 480, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 86 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2688.23255
If we take 430 away from 500, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2688.23255 with a remaining 7e-05.
