We divide 284124 by 87
We want to divide 284124 by 87.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 87

Step 2:
28 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 284 / 87

On to step 3:
If we divide 284 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 23.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 261 from 284 leaves us with 23.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 231 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 231 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 57.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 174 away from 231, we end up with 57.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 572 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 572 6 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 326.0
If we take 522 away from 572, we end up with 50.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 504 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
504 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 69.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3265.0
If we subtract 435 from 504, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
87 goes into 690 7 times with a remainder of 81.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3265.7
If we take 609 away from 690, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 810 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3265.79
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.

Moving on to step 9:
87 can be fit into 270 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3265.793
If we take 261 away from 270, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
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: 3265.7931
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.

Moving on to step 11:
87 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3265.7931
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.

Step 12:
87 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3265.793103
Subtract 261 from 300 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 390 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3265.7931034
If we subtract 348 from 390, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 87 fits into 420 4 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3265.79310344
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.

After the division, we end up with 3265.79310344 and a remainder of 7.2e-08.
