We're dividing 299840 by 87 
Our goal is to divide 299840 by 87.

Moving on to step 1:
87 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in 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.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 87

On to step 2:
When dividing 29 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 299 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 299 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 261 from 299 to get 38.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 388 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 388 4 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34.0
Deduct 348 from 388 and we're left with 40.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 404 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 404 4 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 344.0
If we take 348 away from 404, we end up with 56.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 560 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
87 can be fit into 560 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3446.0
If we take 522 away from 560, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 380 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3446.4
Subtract 348 from 380 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3446.43
Subtract 261 from 320 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
87 goes into 590 6 times with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3446.436
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 522 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 680 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 71.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3446.4367
Subtract 609 from 680 to get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
710 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3446.43678
Subtract 696 from 710 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3446.436781
If we subtract 87 from 140, we get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 530 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3446.4367816
Deduct 522 from 530 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
87 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3446.4367816
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3446.4367816, and the remainder is 8e-08.
