We look at the division of 260526 by 87 
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 260526.

Advancing to step 1:
87 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 260 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
87 goes into 260 2 times with a remainder of 86.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 174 from 260.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 86, then carry on: 865 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 865 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 82.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 783 away from 865, we end up with 82.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 82, then repeat: 822 / 87

Step 5:
87 goes into 822 9 times with a remainder of 39.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 299.0
Subtract 783 from 822 to get 39.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 396 / 87

On to step 6:
When dividing 396 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2994.0
Subtracting 348 from 396 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 7:
480 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2994.5
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 435 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
87 goes into 450 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2994.55
If we take 435 away from 450, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final result is 2994.55 with a remainder of 0.015.
