285740 ÷ 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 285740 can be divided by 87.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 87

Step 2:
28 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 285 / 87

Step 3:
If we divide 285 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 261 away from 285, we end up with 24.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 247 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 247 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 174 from 247.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 734 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 734 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 328.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 696 from 734.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 380 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
87 goes into 380 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3284.0
Deduct 348 from 380 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 320 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 59.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3284.3
If we take 261 away from 320, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
590 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3284.36
If we subtract 522 from 590, we 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.

Step 9:
680 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3284.367
Deduct 609 from 680 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
87 can be fit into 710 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3284.3678
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 696 from 710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
87 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3284.36781
If we take 87 away from 140, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
530 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3284.367816
Subtract 522 from 530 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 80 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3284.367816
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
87 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3284.36781609
Deduct 783 from 800 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 3284.36781609, and the remainder is 1.7e-08.
