We're dividing 226976 by 87 
Our goal is to divide 226976 by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 87 is 0 with 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.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 22 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
22 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 226 / 87

On to step 3:
If we divide 226 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 174 away from 226, we end up with 52.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 529 / 87

Step 4:
87 goes into 529 6 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.0
Deduct 522 from 529 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 77 / 87

On to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 77 0 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 260.0
Subtracting 0 from 77 leaves us with 77.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 77 and continue: 776 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 776 8 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2608.0
Subtract 696 from 776 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2608.9
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
87 goes into 170 1 times with a remainder of 83.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2608.91
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 830 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2608.919
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
470 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2608.9195
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.

On to step 11:
87 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2608.91954
Subtracting 348 from 350 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
87 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2608.91954
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 200 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2608.9195402
Subtract 174 from 200 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 87 fits into 260 2 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2608.91954022
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 174 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

The final result is 2608.91954022 with a remainder of 8.6e-08.
