229638 divided by 87 
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 229638.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 87

Step 2:
If we divide 22 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 22 leaves us with 22.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 229 / 87

On to step 3:
87 goes into 229 2 times with a remainder of 55.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 174 from 229 to get 55.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 556 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 556 6 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtract 522 from 556 to get 34.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 343 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 343 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 82.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 263.0
If we take 261 away from 343, we end up with 82.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 82 and continue: 828 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 828 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 45.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2639.0
Subtracting 783 from 828 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
87 goes into 450 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2639.5
If we take 435 away from 450, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 87 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2639.51
If we take 87 away from 150, we end up with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
87 can be fit into 630 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2639.517
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 609 from 630.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
87 can be fit into 210 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2639.5172
If we subtract 174 from 210, we 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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2639.51724
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 348 from 360.
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 12:
When dividing 120 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 33.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2639.517241
Subtract 87 from 120 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 13:
87 goes into 330 3 times with a remainder of 69.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2639.5172413
Subtract 261 from 330 to 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
87 goes into 690 7 times with a remainder of 81.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2639.51724137
The remainder is 81 after subtracting 609 from 690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2639.51724137 with a remaining 8.1e-08.
