Let's divide 212045 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 212045 can be divided 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
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 212 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 212 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 174 from 212, we get 38.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 380 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 380 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 348 from 380, we get 32.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 324 / 87

On to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 324 3 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 243.0
Deduct 261 from 324 and we're left with 63.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 635 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 635 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2437.0
Deduct 609 from 635 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 260 2 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2437.2
If we take 174 away from 260, we end up with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Step 8:
87 goes into 860 9 times with a remainder of 77.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2437.29
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 783 from 860.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
770 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2437.298
Subtracting 696 from 770 leaves us with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 740 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 44.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2437.2988
Subtracting 696 from 740 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2437.2988, and the remainder is 0.00044.
