Let's divide 252504 by 87
Our goal is to divide 252504 by 87.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 252 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
87 goes into 252 2 times with a remainder of 78.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 174 from 252 and we're left with 78.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 78 and continue with: 785 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 785 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we subtract 783 from 785, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 20 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 290.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 204 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
204 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2902.0
Deduct 174 from 204 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 300 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2902.3
If we take 261 away from 300, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 390 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2902.34
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
87 can be fit into 420 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2902.344
If we subtract 348 from 420, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2902.344 with a remaining 0.0072.
