We're dividing 204156 by 87 
Our goal is to divide 204156 by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
87 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 87

On to step 2:
87 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 204 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
87 goes into 204 2 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 174 away from 204, we end up with 30.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 301 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 301 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 40.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 261 from 301.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 405 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
87 can be fit into 405 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 234.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 348 from 405.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 57, then carry on: 576 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
87 can be fit into 576 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2346.0
If we subtract 522 from 576, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 540 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2346.6
If we subtract 522 from 540, we 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 8:
When dividing 180 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2346.62
If we take 174 away from 180, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 60 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2346.62
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 600 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 78.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2346.6206
If we subtract 522 from 600, we get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
780 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 84.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2346.62068
If we subtract 696 from 780, we get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 840 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 57.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2346.620689
If we take 783 away from 840, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
87 goes into 570 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2346.6206896
Subtract 522 from 570 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
87 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2346.62068965
Deduct 435 from 480 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

The final result is 2346.62068965 with a remainder of 4.5e-08.
