We're dividing 298058 by 87 
We want to divide 298058 by 87.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 29 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 298 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 298 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 37.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 261 from 298 to get 37.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 370 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 370 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we subtract 348 from 370, we get 22.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 225 / 87

On to step 5:
87 can be fit into 225 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 342.0
If we take 174 away from 225, we end up with 51.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 518 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 518 5 times, leaving a remainder of 83.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3425.0
Deduct 435 from 518 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 830 9 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3425.9
Subtracting 783 from 830 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 470 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3425.95
Subtracting 435 from 470 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
87 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3425.954
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 348 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 20 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3425.954
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3425.95402
Subtracting 174 from 200 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
87 goes into 260 2 times with a remainder of 86.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3425.954022
If we subtract 174 from 260, we get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3425.954022, and the remainder is 8.6e-06.
