We're dividing 27642 by 87 
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 27642.

On 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
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
87 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 276 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 276 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 15.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 261 from 276.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 154 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
87 goes into 154 1 times with a remainder of 67.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 87 from 154.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 67, then repeat: 672 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 672 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 317.0
If we take 609 away from 672, we end up with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 630 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 21.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 317.7
If we subtract 609 from 630, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 210 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 317.72
Subtract 174 from 210 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
360 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 317.724
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 348 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
120 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 317.7241
If we take 87 away from 120, we end up 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.

Step 10:
87 goes into 330 3 times with a remainder of 69.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 317.72413
Subtracting 261 from 330 leaves us with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 11:
690 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 81.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 317.724137
If we take 609 away from 690, we end up with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 810 9 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 317.7241379
If we take 783 away from 810, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
270 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 317.72413793
If we subtract 261 from 270, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 317.72413793, and the remainder is 9e-09.
