We're dividing 304184 by 87 
We want to divide 304184 by 87.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 304 / 87

Step 3:
The number 87 fits into 304 3 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 261 from 304.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 431 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 431 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 83.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
The remainder is 83 after subtracting 348 from 431.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 83, then repeat: 838 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
87 can be fit into 838 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 349.0
Subtracting 783 from 838 leaves us with 55.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 554 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
87 goes into 554 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3496.0
If we take 522 away from 554, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 7:
87 can be fit into 320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3496.3
If we subtract 261 from 320, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
590 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 68.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3496.36
Subtract 522 from 590 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 680 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3496.367
If we subtract 609 from 680, we get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 710 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3496.3678
Subtract 696 from 710 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 140 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 53.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3496.36781
Subtracting 87 from 140 leaves us with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
87 goes into 530 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3496.367816
If we subtract 522 from 530, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 13:
87 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3496.367816
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 800 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3496.36781609
If we take 783 away from 800, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3496.36781609 with a balance of 1.7e-08.
