Let's divide 214307 by 87
Our goal is to divide 214307 by 87.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
21 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 214 / 87

On to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 214 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 174 from 214, we get 40.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 403 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 403 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtracting 348 from 403 leaves us with 55.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 550 / 87

Step 5:
When dividing 550 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 246.0
If we subtract 522 from 550, we get 28.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 287 / 87

On to step 6:
When dividing 287 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2463.0
If we take 261 away from 287, we end up 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.

Step 7:
260 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 86.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2463.2
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
87 goes into 860 9 times with a remainder of 77.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2463.29
If we subtract 783 from 860, we get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 770 8 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2463.298
If we subtract 696 from 770, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 740 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2463.2988
If we take 696 away from 740, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2463.2988 and a remainder of 0.00044.
