We look at the division of 311047 by 87 
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 311047.

Step 1:
87 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 31 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 311 / 87

Step 3:
When dividing 311 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 261 from 311.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 500 / 87

On to step 4:
87 can be fit into 500 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 435 from 500.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 65 and continue: 654 / 87

Step 5:
87 can be fit into 654 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 357.0
If we subtract 609 from 654, we get 45.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 457 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 457 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 22.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3575.0
Subtracting 435 from 457 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 7:
87 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3575.2
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 174 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 460 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3575.25
Subtracting 435 from 460 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 250 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3575.252
Subtracting 174 from 250 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 760 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3575.2528
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 696 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 640 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 31.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3575.25287
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 609 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 310 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 49.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3575.252873
If we subtract 261 from 310, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
490 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3575.2528735
If we subtract 435 from 490, we 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.

Step 14:
When dividing 550 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3575.25287356
Deduct 522 from 550 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 3575.25287356 with a remainder of 2.8e-08.
