We look at the division of 296536 by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 296536 can be divided by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 29 0 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 296 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
87 can be fit into 296 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 261 from 296 leaves us with 35.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 355 / 87

Step 4:
87 can be fit into 355 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtracting 348 from 355 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 73 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 73 0 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 340.0
Deduct 0 from 73 and we're left with 73.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 736 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 736 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3408.0
If we take 696 away from 736, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
87 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3408.4
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 348 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
87 goes into 520 5 times with a remainder of 85.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3408.45
If we take 435 away from 520, we end up with 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 850 9 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3408.459
If we take 783 away from 850, we end up with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Step 10:
87 goes into 670 7 times with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3408.4597
Deduct 609 from 670 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
87 goes into 610 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3408.45977
Subtract 609 from 610 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3408.45977 with a remaining 1e-06.
