288515 ÷ 87 
Our goal is to divide 288515 by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
87 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 87

On to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 288 / 87

Step 3:
87 can be fit into 288 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 261 from 288 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 275 / 87

Step 4:
87 can be fit into 275 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we take 261 away from 275, we end up with 14.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 141 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 141 1 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 331.0
If we take 87 away from 141, we end up with 54.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 545 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 545 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3316.0
Subtracting 522 from 545 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 230 2 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3316.2
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.

Moving on to step 8:
87 goes into 560 6 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3316.26
If we subtract 522 from 560, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 9:
380 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3316.264
If we take 348 away from 380, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 320 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 59.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3316.2643
If we subtract 261 from 320, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 590 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 68.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3316.26436
If we subtract 522 from 590, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
680 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 71.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3316.264367
If we take 609 away from 680, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Step 13:
87 goes into 710 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3316.2643678
Subtracting 696 from 710 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 14:
140 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 53.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3316.26436781
Subtract 87 from 140 to get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3316.26436781 with a balance of 5.3e-08.
