254231 divided by 87 
Our goal is to divide 254231 by 87.

Step 1:
87 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 87

On to step 2:
87 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 254 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 254 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 174 away from 254, we end up with 80.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 80, then repeat: 802 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 802 9 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we subtract 783 from 802, we get 19.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 193 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 193 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 292.0
Subtract 174 from 193 to get 19.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 191 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 191 2 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2922.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 174 from 191.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 170 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 83.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2922.1
Subtracting 87 from 170 leaves us with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 830 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 47.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2922.19
Deduct 783 from 830 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 470 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2922.195
Subtract 435 from 470 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 350 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2922.1954
If we take 348 away from 350, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2922.1954
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
200 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2922.195402
If we take 174 away from 200, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
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: 2922.1954022
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 174 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2922.1954022, and the remainder is 8.6e-07.
