We divide 308284 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 308284 can be divided by 87.

Step 1:
When dividing 3 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 30 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
87 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 308 / 87

Step 3:
If we divide 308 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 47.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 261 from 308.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 472 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
472 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we take 435 away from 472, we end up with 37.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 378 / 87

On to step 5:
87 can be fit into 378 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 354.0
If we take 348 away from 378, we end up with 30.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 304 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
304 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3543.0
Subtracting 261 from 304 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
87 goes into 430 4 times with a remainder of 82.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3543.4
If we subtract 348 from 430, we get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
820 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 37.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3543.49
Deduct 783 from 820 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 370 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3543.494
If we take 348 away from 370, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
87 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 46.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3543.4942
Subtract 174 from 220 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 87 fits into 460 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3543.49425
Deduct 435 from 460 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
250 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 76.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3543.494252
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 174 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 760 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3543.4942528
If we take 696 away from 760, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 87 fits into 640 7 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3543.49425287
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 609 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3543.49425287, with a leftover of 3.1e-08.
