260862 divided by 87 
We want to divide 260862 by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
26 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 260 / 87

Step 3:
If we divide 260 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 86.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 174 from 260, we get 86.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 86 and continue with: 868 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
868 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 85.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 783 away from 868, we end up with 85.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 85, then repeat: 856 / 87

On to step 5:
If we divide 856 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 73.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 299.0
Subtract 783 from 856 to get 73.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 732 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 732 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2998.0
Deduct 696 from 732 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 360 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2998.4
Subtracting 348 from 360 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
87 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2998.41
Subtracting 87 from 120 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
330 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 69.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2998.413
Subtract 261 from 330 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 690 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 81.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2998.4137
The remainder is 81 after subtracting 609 from 690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 810 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2998.41379
Subtract 783 from 810 to get 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 12:
270 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2998.413793
Subtract 261 from 270 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
87 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2998.4137931
Subtract 87 from 90 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
30 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2998.4137931
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2998.4137931, and the remainder is 3e-08.
