Let's divide 296391 by 87
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 296391.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 29 0 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 296 / 87

Step 3:
When dividing 296 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 261 from 296, we get 35.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 353 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 353 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 5.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtract 348 from 353 to get 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 87

On to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 59 0 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 340.0
If we take 0 away from 59, we end up with 59.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 591 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
87 can be fit into 591 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3406.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 522 from 591.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
87 can be fit into 690 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 81.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3406.7
If we subtract 609 from 690, we get 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
810 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3406.79
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 783 from 810.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 270 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3406.793
Deduct 261 from 270 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
87 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3406.7931
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
30 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3406.7931
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.

Step 12:
The number 87 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3406.793103
Subtracting 261 from 300 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 390 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3406.7931034
Subtracting 348 from 390 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
87 can be fit into 420 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3406.79310344
If we subtract 348 from 420, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3406.79310344 with a remaining 7.2e-08.
