Let's divide 289841 by 87
We want to divide 289841 by 87.

Going ahead to step 1:
87 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 289 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
289 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 261 away from 289, we end up with 28.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 288 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 288 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we take 261 away from 288, we end up with 27.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 274 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
87 can be fit into 274 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 333.0
If we take 261 away from 274, we end up with 13.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 131 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
87 can be fit into 131 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3331.0
If we subtract 87 from 131, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 7:
440 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3331.5
Subtract 435 from 440 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
87 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3331.5
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
87 goes into 500 5 times with a remainder of 65.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3331.505
If we take 435 away from 500, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Step 10:
650 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3331.5057
Deduct 609 from 650 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 410 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3331.50574
Subtract 348 from 410 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 620 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3331.505747
If we subtract 609 from 620, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 110 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3331.5057471
Deduct 87 from 110 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 87 fits into 230 2 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3331.50574712
Subtract 174 from 230 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3331.50574712, and the remainder is 5.6e-08.
