We divide 204720 by 87
We want to divide 204720 by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 20 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 204 / 87

Step 3:
The number 87 fits into 204 2 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 174 away from 204, we end up with 30.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 307 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 307 3 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtracting 261 from 307 leaves us with 46.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 462 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
87 goes into 462 5 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 235.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 435 from 462.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 270 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 270 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2353.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 261 from 270.
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 7:
87 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2353.1
Subtracting 87 from 90 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
87 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2353.1
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2353.103
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 390 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2353.1034
If we take 348 away from 390, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
87 goes into 420 4 times with a remainder of 72.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2353.10344
If we take 348 away from 420, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The final result is 2353.10344 with a remainder of 7.2e-05.
