288747 divided by 87 
Our goal is to divide 288747 by 87.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
87 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 288 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 288 3 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 261 from 288 and we're left with 27.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 277 / 87

Step 4:
If we divide 277 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we take 261 away from 277, we end up with 16.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 164 / 87

Step 5:
The number 87 fits into 164 1 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 331.0
Subtracting 87 from 164 leaves us with 77.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 77 and continue: 777 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 777 8 times, leaving a remainder of 81.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3318.0
If we subtract 696 from 777, we get 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 810 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3318.9
If we take 783 away from 810, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 270 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3318.93
If we take 261 away from 270, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
87 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3318.931
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 87 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
87 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3318.931
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 300 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3318.93103
Subtracting 261 from 300 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
87 goes into 390 4 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3318.931034
If we take 348 away from 390, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 420 4 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3318.9310344
Subtracting 348 from 420 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3318.9310344, and the remainder is 7.2e-07.
