We're dividing 284118 by 87 
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 284118.

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.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 87

On to step 2:
87 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 284 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 284 3 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 261 from 284 to get 23.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 231 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 231 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 57.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 174 from 231.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 57 and continue with: 571 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 571 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 326.0
If we subtract 522 from 571, we get 49.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 498 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 498 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 63.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3265.0
Subtract 435 from 498 to get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
87 can be fit into 630 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3265.7
Subtracting 609 from 630 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 8:
210 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3265.72
Deduct 174 from 210 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3265.724
Deduct 348 from 360 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 120 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3265.7241
Subtracting 87 from 120 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
330 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3265.72413
If we subtract 261 from 330, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 690 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 81.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3265.724137
The remainder is 81 after subtracting 609 from 690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
87 goes into 810 9 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3265.7241379
Subtract 783 from 810 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
270 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3265.72413793
If we take 261 away from 270, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3265.72413793 with a balance of 9e-09.
