We're dividing 208426 by 87 
We want to divide 208426 by 87.

Step 1:
87 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
20 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 208 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 34.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 174 away from 208, we end up with 34.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 344 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
87 goes into 344 3 times with a remainder of 83.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 261 from 344 to get 83.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 83 and continue: 832 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
87 goes into 832 9 times with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 239.0
Subtract 783 from 832 to get 49.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 496 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 496 5 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2395.0
Subtract 435 from 496 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
87 can be fit into 610 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2395.7
Subtracting 609 from 610 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 10 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2395.7
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2395.701
Subtracting 87 from 100 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 130 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 43.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2395.7011
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 87 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2395.7011 with a balance of 0.00043.
