240249 divided by 87 
We want to divide 240249 by 87.

Going ahead to step 1:
87 goes into 2 0 times with 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.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
87 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 240 / 87

On to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 240 2 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 174 from 240.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 662 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
662 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 609 from 662 leaves us with 53.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 534 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
534 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 276.0
Deduct 522 from 534 and we're left with 12.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 129 / 87

On to step 6:
When dividing 129 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2761.0
If we subtract 87 from 129, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
87 goes into 420 4 times with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2761.4
Subtracting 348 from 420 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 8:
87 goes into 720 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2761.48
Deduct 696 from 720 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
87 goes into 240 2 times with a remainder of 66.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2761.482
If we take 174 away from 240, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
87 can be fit into 660 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2761.4827
Subtracting 609 from 660 leaves us with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
510 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2761.48275
Subtracting 435 from 510 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 750 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 54.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2761.482758
Deduct 696 from 750 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 540 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2761.4827586
If we subtract 522 from 540, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 180 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2761.48275862
If we take 174 away from 180, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2761.48275862 with a balance of 6e-09.
