We look at the division of 246696 by 87 
We want to divide 246696 by 87.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 87, we get 0 and 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.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 87

Step 2:
87 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 246 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
246 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 174 from 246 and we're left with 72.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 726 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 726 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 30.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we subtract 696 from 726, we get 30.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 309 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
309 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 283.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 261 from 309.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 486 / 87

Step 6:
The number 87 fits into 486 5 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2835.0
If we subtract 435 from 486, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 510 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2835.5
If we subtract 435 from 510, we get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 750 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2835.58
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 9:
540 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2835.586
Deduct 522 from 540 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
180 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2835.5862
If we subtract 174 from 180, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
60 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2835.5862
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 600 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 78.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2835.586206
The remainder is 78 after subtracting 522 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 780 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 84.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2835.5862068
If we subtract 696 from 780, we get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
840 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2835.58620689
If we take 783 away from 840, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

The final result is 2835.58620689 with a remainder of 5.7e-08.
