We're dividing 284940 by 87 
Our goal is to divide 284940 by 87.

Going ahead to step 1:
87 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 284 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
87 goes into 284 3 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 261 from 284 leaves us with 23.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 239 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 239 2 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 174 away from 239, we end up with 65.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 65, then carry on: 654 / 87

Step 5:
87 can be fit into 654 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 327.0
Subtract 609 from 654 to get 45.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 450 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 450 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3275.0
Deduct 435 from 450 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
87 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 63.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3275.1
If we subtract 87 from 150, we get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
87 goes into 630 7 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3275.17
Subtracting 609 from 630 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 210 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3275.172
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 174 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 360 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3275.1724
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 348 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3275.17241
Subtracting 87 from 120 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 87 fits into 330 3 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3275.172413
If we subtract 261 from 330, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 690 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 81.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3275.1724137
If we take 609 away from 690, we end up with 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 14:
If we divide 810 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3275.17241379
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 783 from 810.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3275.17241379 and a remainder of 2.7e-08.
