281968 ÷ 87 
We want to divide 281968 by 87.

On to step 1:
87 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
28 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 281 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 281 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 20.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 261 away from 281, we end up with 20.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 209 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 209 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 174 away from 209, we end up with 35.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 356 / 87

On to step 5:
If we divide 356 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 324.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 348 from 356.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 88 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3241.0
If we take 87 away from 88, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3241.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
100 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3241.01
Subtracting 87 from 100 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 130 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 43.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3241.011
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 87 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3241.011 with a balance of 0.0043.
