We want to divide 23378 by 87.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
23 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 233 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
87 can be fit into 233 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 174 from 233 and we're left with 59.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 597 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 597 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtract 522 from 597 to get 75.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 75, then carry on: 758 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
758 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 62.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 268.0
Deduct 696 from 758 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 620 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 268.7
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 609 from 620.
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 7:
87 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 268.71
Subtract 87 from 110 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
87 can be fit into 230 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 268.712
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 174 from 230.
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 9:
560 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 38.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 268.7126
Subtract 522 from 560 to 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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 380 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 268.71264
Deduct 348 from 380 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 59.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 268.712643
Subtract 261 from 320 to 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 12:
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: 268.7126436
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 680 7 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 268.71264367
Deduct 609 from 680 and we're left 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.

The final outcome is 268.71264367, with a leftover of 7.1e-08.
