We're dividing 217082 by 87 
We want to divide 217082 by 87.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 87, we get 0 with 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 (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 87

On to step 2:
87 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 217 / 87

On to step 3:
217 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 43.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 174 from 217 to get 43.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 430 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
430 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 82.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24.0
The remainder is 82 after subtracting 348 from 430.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 82 and repeat the process: 828 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
87 goes into 828 9 times with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 249.0
If we subtract 783 from 828, we get 45.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 452 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
452 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 17.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2495.0
If we subtract 435 from 452, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 170 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 83.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2495.1
Deduct 87 from 170 and we're left with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
87 goes into 830 9 times with a remainder of 47.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2495.19
Deduct 783 from 830 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
87 can be fit into 470 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2495.195
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 435 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
350 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2495.1954
If we subtract 348 from 350, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
87 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2495.1954
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2495.195402
Subtracting 174 from 200 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
87 can be fit into 260 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2495.1954022
If we take 174 away from 260, we end up with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2495.1954022 and a remainder of 8.6e-07.
