We look at the division of 246801 by 87 
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 246801.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 87

On to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 246 / 87

Step 3:
246 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 174 from 246.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 728 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
728 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 696 from 728 leaves us with 32.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 320 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
87 can be fit into 320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 283.0
If we take 261 away from 320, we end up with 59.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 591 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 591 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2836.0
If we subtract 522 from 591, 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 7:
If we divide 690 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 81.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2836.7
If we subtract 609 from 690, we get 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 87 fits into 810 9 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2836.79
If we subtract 783 from 810, we 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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 270 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2836.793
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 261 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 90 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2836.7931
Subtracting 87 from 90 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
87 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2836.7931
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
300 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2836.793103
Deduct 261 from 300 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 390 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2836.7931034
Deduct 348 from 390 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 420 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 72.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2836.79310344
If we take 348 away from 420, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2836.79310344 and a remainder of 7.2e-08.
