240178 ÷ 87 
Our goal is to divide 240178 by 87.

Moving on to step 1:
87 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 87, we get 0 and 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 (0) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 240 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 240 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 174 from 240 and we're left with 66.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 66, then repeat: 661 / 87

On to step 4:
87 can be fit into 661 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 609 from 661 to get 52.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 527 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 527 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 276.0
If we subtract 522 from 527, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 87

On to step 6:
87 goes into 58 0 times with a remainder of 58.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2760.0
If we take 0 away from 58, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 580 6 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2760.6
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 522 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
87 can be fit into 580 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2760.66
Subtract 522 from 580 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2760.66 with a balance of 0.058.
