251876 ÷ 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 251876 can be divided by 87.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 87, we get 0 and 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 (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 87

On to step 2:
87 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 251 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
87 can be fit into 251 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 174 from 251, we get 77.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 77, then repeat: 778 / 87

On to step 4:
87 can be fit into 778 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 82.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 696 from 778 leaves us with 82.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 82, then repeat: 827 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
87 can be fit into 827 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 289.0
Subtracting 783 from 827 leaves us with 44.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 44, then repeat: 446 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
446 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 11.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2895.0
Deduct 435 from 446 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2895.1
Subtracting 87 from 110 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
230 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2895.12
Subtracting 174 from 230 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 560 6 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2895.126
If we subtract 522 from 560, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
87 can be fit into 380 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2895.1264
If we take 348 away from 380, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 11:
87 can be fit into 320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2895.12643
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 261 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
590 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 68.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2895.126436
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 522 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
87 goes into 680 7 times with a remainder of 71.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2895.1264367
Deduct 609 from 680 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Step 14:
710 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2895.12643678
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 696 from 710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2895.12643678 with a balance of 1.4e-08.
