26131 ÷ 87 
We want to divide 26131 by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
87 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 87

Step 2:
When dividing 26 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 261 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 261 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 261 from 261.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 3 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 3 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 87

On to step 5:
31 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 300.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 310 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 49.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 300.3
Subtract 261 from 310 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 490 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 300.35
If we subtract 435 from 490, we get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
550 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 300.356
If we take 522 away from 550, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
87 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 300.3563
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 261 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
87 can be fit into 190 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 300.35632
Subtracting 174 from 190 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
87 can be fit into 160 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 300.356321
If we subtract 87 from 160, we get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 730 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 300.3563218
Subtract 696 from 730 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 87 fits into 340 3 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 300.35632183
Subtracting 261 from 340 leaves us with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 300.35632183 with a balance of 7.9e-08.
