Let's divide 1552986 by 848
Our goal is to divide 1552986 by 848.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 848, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 848

Advancing to step 2:
848 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 15 leaves us with 15.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 155 / 848

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 848 fits into 155 0 times, leaving a remainder of 155.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 155 to get 155.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 155, then carry on: 1552 / 848

Step 4:
The number 848 fits into 1552 1 times, leaving a remainder of 704.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 848 from 1552, we get 704.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 704, then carry on: 7049 / 848

Step 5:
The number 848 fits into 7049 8 times, leaving a remainder of 265.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 6784 from 7049 leaves us with 265.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 265, then carry on: 2658 / 848

Step 6:
848 goes into 2658 3 times with a remainder of 114.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 183.0
If we subtract 2544 from 2658, we get 114.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 114, then carry on: 1146 / 848

On to step 7:
The number 848 fits into 1146 1 times, leaving a remainder of 298.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1831.0
If we subtract 848 from 1146, we get 298.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2980, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 848 fits into 2980 3 times, leaving a remainder of 436.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1831.3
Subtracting 2544 from 2980 leaves us with 436.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
848 can be fit into 4360 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 120.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1831.35
Subtracting 4240 from 4360 leaves us with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Step 10:
1200 divided by 848 is 1 with a remainder of 352.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1831.351
If we subtract 848 from 1200, we get 352.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 3520 by 848, we get 4 with a remainder of 128.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1831.3514
Subtract 3392 from 3520 to get 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 848 fits into 1280 1 times, leaving a remainder of 432.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1831.35141
Deduct 848 from 1280 and we're left with 432.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4320, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
848 goes into 4320 5 times with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1831.351415
If we take 4240 away from 4320, 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.

Advancing to step 14:
848 goes into 800 0 times with a remainder of 800.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1831.351415
Deduct 0 from 800 and we're left with 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8000, and continue the process.

Step 15:
If we divide 8000 by 848, we get 9 and a remainder of 368.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1831.35141509
If we take 7632 away from 8000, we end up with 368.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3680, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1831.35141509, and the remainder is 3.68e-07.
