We divide 87436107 by 257
We want to divide 87436107 by 257.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 257 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 257

Step 2:
When dividing 87 by 257, we get 0 with a remainder of 87.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 87 to get 87.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 87 and continue with: 874 / 257

Step 3:
874 divided by 257 is 3 with a remainder of 103.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 771 away from 874, we end up with 103.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 103, then repeat: 1033 / 257

Advancing to step 4:
1033 divided by 257 is 4 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtract 1028 from 1033 to get 5.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 56 / 257

On to step 5:
If we divide 56 by 257, we get 0 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 340.0
Deduct 0 from 56 and we're left with 56.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 561 / 257

On to step 6:
257 can be fit into 561 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3402.0
Deduct 514 from 561 and we're left with 47.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 470 / 257

Moving on to step 7:
257 goes into 470 1 times with a remainder of 213.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34021.0
Subtracting 257 from 470 leaves us with 213.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 213, then repeat: 2137 / 257

Moving on to step 8:
257 can be fit into 2137 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 81.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 340218.0
The remainder is 81 after subtracting 2056 from 2137.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
810 divided by 257 is 3 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 340218.3
If we take 771 away from 810, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 390 by 257, we get 1 with a remainder of 133.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 340218.31
If we subtract 257 from 390, we get 133.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1330, and continue the process.

Step 11:
1330 divided by 257 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 340218.315
Subtracting 1285 from 1330 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 450 by 257, we get 1 with a remainder of 193.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 340218.3151
Subtract 257 from 450 to get 193.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1930, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
1930 divided by 257 is 7 with a remainder of 131.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 340218.31517
If we subtract 1799 from 1930, we get 131.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 257 fits into 1310 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 340218.315175
Subtracting 1285 from 1310 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
257 can be fit into 250 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 250.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 340218.315175
Subtract 0 from 250 to get 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
When dividing 2500 by 257, we get 9 with a remainder of 187.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 340218.31517509
Subtracting 2313 from 2500 leaves us with 187.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1870, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 340218.31517509 and a remainder of 1.87e-07.
