We're dividing 231914 by 87 
We want to divide 231914 by 87.

Step 1:
The number 87 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 87

On to step 2:
87 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 231 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
87 goes into 231 2 times with a remainder of 57.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 174 from 231, we get 57.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 579 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
579 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 57.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtract 522 from 579 to get 57.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 571 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 571 6 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 266.0
Subtract 522 from 571 to get 49.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 494 / 87

On to step 6:
87 can be fit into 494 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2665.0
Subtract 435 from 494 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
87 can be fit into 590 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2665.6
If we subtract 522 from 590, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 680 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 71.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2665.67
Subtract 609 from 680 to get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 710 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2665.678
Deduct 696 from 710 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
140 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 53.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2665.6781
Subtracting 87 from 140 leaves us with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
87 goes into 530 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2665.67816
Subtracting 522 from 530 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2665.67816
If we subtract 0 from 80, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
87 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2665.6781609
Subtract 783 from 800 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 170 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 83.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2665.67816091
Subtracting 87 from 170 leaves us with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2665.67816091, and the remainder is 8.3e-08.
