Let's divide 231997 by 60
We want to divide 231997 by 60.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 60, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
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 / 60

Going ahead to step 2:
23 divided by 60 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 231 / 60

Let's proceed to step 3:
231 divided by 60 is 3 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 180 from 231 to get 51.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 519 / 60

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 519 by 60, we get 8 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtracting 480 from 519 leaves us with 39.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 399 / 60

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 399 by 60, we get 6 with a remainder of 39.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 386.0
If we take 360 away from 399, we end up with 39.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 397 / 60

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 397 by 60, we get 6 and a remainder of 37.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3866.0
Deduct 360 from 397 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
370 divided by 60 is 6 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3866.6
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 360 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
60 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3866.61
If we subtract 60 from 100, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
60 goes into 400 6 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3866.616
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 400 by 60, we get 6 with a remainder of 40.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3866.6166
If we subtract 360 from 400, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3866.6166, with a leftover of 0.0004.
