We divide 253921 by 87
Our goal is to divide 253921 by 87.

On 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 take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 87

On to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 253 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
87 can be fit into 253 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 79.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 174 from 253 and we're left with 79.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 79, then carry on: 799 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 799 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 16.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 783 from 799 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 162 / 87

Step 5:
The number 87 fits into 162 1 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 291.0
Deduct 87 from 162 and we're left with 75.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 75, then carry on: 751 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
87 goes into 751 8 times with a remainder of 55.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2918.0
Subtract 696 from 751 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
87 goes into 550 6 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2918.6
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 522 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 8:
280 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2918.63
Subtracting 261 from 280 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 190 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2918.632
Subtracting 174 from 190 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
87 can be fit into 160 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2918.6321
If we take 87 away from 160, we end up with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Step 11:
730 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2918.63218
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 696 from 730.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 340 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 79.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2918.632183
Subtract 261 from 340 to get 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 790 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2918.6321839
Subtract 783 from 790 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
87 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2918.6321839
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2918.6321839, and the remainder is 7e-08.
