We're dividing 254952 by 87 
We want to divide 254952 by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 254 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 254 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 80.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 174 away from 254, we end up with 80.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 80, then repeat: 809 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
809 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 783 away from 809, we end up with 26.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 265 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 265 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 293.0
Subtracting 261 from 265 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
87 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2930.0
If we take 0 away from 42, 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 7:
If we divide 420 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 72.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2930.4
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
87 can be fit into 720 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2930.48
Subtract 696 from 720 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 240 2 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2930.482
Subtracting 174 from 240 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 10:
87 goes into 660 7 times with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2930.4827
If we subtract 609 from 660, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 510 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2930.48275
Deduct 435 from 510 and we're left with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 12:
750 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 54.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2930.482758
Subtracting 696 from 750 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
87 goes into 540 6 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2930.4827586
Subtract 522 from 540 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
87 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2930.48275862
Subtract 174 from 180 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2930.48275862 and a remainder of 6e-09.
