Let's divide 277041 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 277041 can be divided by 87.

Going ahead to step 1:
87 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 277 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 277 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 261 from 277 to get 16.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 160 / 87

Step 4:
87 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 73.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 87 from 160 to get 73.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 734 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
87 can be fit into 734 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 318.0
Subtracting 696 from 734 leaves us with 38.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 381 / 87

On to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 381 4 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3184.0
If we subtract 348 from 381, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
87 goes into 330 3 times with a remainder of 69.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3184.3
Deduct 261 from 330 and we're left with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 690 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 81.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3184.37
Subtract 609 from 690 to 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 810 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3184.379
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.

Advancing to step 10:
87 can be fit into 270 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3184.3793
If we subtract 261 from 270, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
87 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3184.37931
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 12:
87 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3184.37931
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 13:
87 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3184.3793103
If we subtract 261 from 300, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 14:
87 goes into 390 4 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3184.37931034
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.

The quotient of the division is 3184.37931034, and the remainder is 4.2e-08.
