241872 divided by 87 
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 241872.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 87

On to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 241 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 241 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 67.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 174 from 241 leaves us with 67.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 67 and continue with: 678 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
87 goes into 678 7 times with a remainder of 69.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 609 away from 678, we end up with 69.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 69 and continue with: 697 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 697 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 278.0
If we take 696 away from 697, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 12 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2780.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 7:
120 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2780.1
If we subtract 87 from 120, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
330 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 69.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2780.13
Deduct 261 from 330 and we're left with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
87 goes into 690 7 times with a remainder of 81.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2780.137
Deduct 609 from 690 and we're left with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
87 goes into 810 9 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2780.1379
If we subtract 783 from 810, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 270 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2780.13793
Subtracting 261 from 270 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 90 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2780.137931
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 87 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2780.137931
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
87 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2780.13793103
Subtracting 261 from 300 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2780.13793103 with a balance of 3.9e-08.
