240495 divided by 87 
We want to divide 240495 by 87.

On to step 1:
87 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 87

Step 2:
87 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 240 / 87

On to step 3:
240 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 174 from 240 leaves us with 66.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 66, then repeat: 664 / 87

Step 4:
664 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 55.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 609 from 664 and we're left with 55.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 559 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
87 can be fit into 559 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 276.0
Deduct 522 from 559 and we're left with 37.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 375 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 375 4 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2764.0
Deduct 348 from 375 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
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: 2764.3
Deduct 261 from 270 and we're left 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 8:
When dividing 90 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2764.31
Subtracting 87 from 90 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
87 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2764.31
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
87 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2764.3103
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 261 from 300.
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 11:
87 goes into 390 4 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2764.31034
Subtracting 348 from 390 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
87 goes into 420 4 times with a remainder of 72.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2764.310344
Subtract 348 from 420 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2764.310344, with a leftover of 7.2e-06.
