We look at the division of 273879 by 87 
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 273879.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 273 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 273 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 261 from 273 and we're left with 12.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 128 / 87

Step 4:
128 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 87 from 128 leaves us with 41.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 417 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 417 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 314.0
Subtract 348 from 417 to get 69.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 69 and repeat the process: 699 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 699 8 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3148.0
Subtracting 696 from 699 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.

Step 7:
The number 87 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3148.0
Subtract 0 from 30 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 300 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3148.03
If we take 261 away from 300, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 9:
87 goes into 390 4 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3148.034
Subtract 348 from 390 to 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 420 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 72.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3148.0344
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 348 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3148.0344, and the remainder is 0.00072.
