We divide 227541 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 227541 can be divided by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
87 goes into 2 0 times with 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 (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
87 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 227 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 227 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 174 from 227 to get 53.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 535 / 87

On to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 535 6 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtracting 522 from 535 leaves us with 13.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 134 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
134 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 47.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 261.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 87 from 134.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 471 / 87

On to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 471 5 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2615.0
If we take 435 away from 471, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
87 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2615.4
If we subtract 348 from 360, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
87 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2615.41
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 87 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
330 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2615.413
Deduct 261 from 330 and we're left with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
87 can be fit into 690 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 81.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2615.4137
If we subtract 609 from 690, we get 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 810 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2615.41379
If we subtract 783 from 810, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 270 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2615.413793
Deduct 261 from 270 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 90 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2615.4137931
Deduct 87 from 90 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
87 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2615.4137931
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2615.4137931, and the remainder is 3e-08.
