We divide 205885 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 205885 can be divided by 87.

Let's proceed 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
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 20 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
87 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 205 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 205 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 31.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 174 away from 205, we end up with 31.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 318 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
87 can be fit into 318 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we take 261 away from 318, we end up with 57.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 578 / 87

Step 5:
578 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 56.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 236.0
If we subtract 522 from 578, we get 56.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 56, then carry on: 565 / 87

Step 6:
565 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 43.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2366.0
Deduct 522 from 565 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 430 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 82.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2366.4
Subtract 348 from 430 to get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 820 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2366.49
If we subtract 783 from 820, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 370 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2366.494
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 348 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2366.4942
Deduct 174 from 220 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
460 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2366.49425
Subtract 435 from 460 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
87 can be fit into 250 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2366.494252
Deduct 174 from 250 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
760 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2366.4942528
Subtracting 696 from 760 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 87 fits into 640 7 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2366.49425287
Deduct 609 from 640 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2366.49425287 with a remaining 3.1e-08.
