We're dividing 287887 by 70 
Our goal is to divide 287887 by 70.

Let's proceed to step 1:
70 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 70

Advancing to step 2:
70 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 70

Moving on to step 3:
70 goes into 287 4 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 280 from 287 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 70

Step 4:
70 goes into 78 1 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 41.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 70 from 78.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 88 / 70

Advancing to step 5:
70 can be fit into 88 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 411.0
Subtract 70 from 88 to get 18.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 187 / 70

Moving on to step 6:
187 divided by 70 is 2 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4112.0
If we subtract 140 from 187, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
70 can be fit into 470 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4112.6
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 420 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 500 by 70, we get 7 and a remainder of 10.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4112.67
Deduct 490 from 500 and we're left with 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 9:
70 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4112.671
If we take 70 away from 100, 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.

Advancing to step 10:
300 divided by 70 is 4 with a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4112.6714
If we take 280 away from 300, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 70, we get 2 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4112.67142
Subtracting 140 from 200 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
70 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4112.671428
Deduct 560 from 600 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
70 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4112.6714285
Subtract 350 from 400 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
70 can be fit into 500 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4112.67142857
If we subtract 490 from 500, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4112.67142857, with a leftover of 1e-08.
