We divide 235661 by 87
We want to divide 235661 by 87.

Step 1:
87 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 87

Step 2:
23 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 235 / 87

On to step 3:
If we divide 235 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 61.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 174 from 235 leaves us with 61.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 616 / 87

Step 4:
87 can be fit into 616 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 609 from 616 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 76 / 87

On to step 5:
87 can be fit into 76 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 270.0
Subtracting 0 from 76 leaves us with 76.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 76 and continue: 761 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 761 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 65.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2708.0
Deduct 696 from 761 and we're left with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
650 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 41.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2708.7
If we take 609 away from 650, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 410 4 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2708.74
If we take 348 away from 410, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 620 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2708.747
If we take 609 away from 620, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 110 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2708.7471
Deduct 87 from 110 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 230 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2708.74712
If we take 174 away from 230, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
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: 2708.747126
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2708.7471264
Subtracting 348 from 380 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 87 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2708.74712643
If we subtract 261 from 320, we 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.

After the division, we end up with 2708.74712643 and a remainder of 5.9e-08.
