Let's divide 205704 by 87
We want to divide 205704 by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
87 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 205 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
87 can be fit into 205 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 174 from 205 to get 31.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 317 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
87 can be fit into 317 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 261 from 317, we get 56.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 560 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 560 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 236.0
Subtract 522 from 560 to get 38.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 384 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 384 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2364.0
Subtract 348 from 384 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 360 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2364.4
Deduct 348 from 360 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
120 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2364.41
Deduct 87 from 120 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 330 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2364.413
If we subtract 261 from 330, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 10:
87 can be fit into 690 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 81.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2364.4137
Subtract 609 from 690 to get 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
87 goes into 810 9 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2364.41379
Subtract 783 from 810 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 270 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2364.413793
Subtracting 261 from 270 leaves us 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 13:
87 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2364.4137931
If we take 87 away from 90, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
30 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2364.4137931
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up 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.

The final result is 2364.4137931 with a remainder of 3e-08.
