We're dividing 23697919 by 87 
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 23697919.

Let's proceed to step 1:
87 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 87

On to step 2:
If we divide 23 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 236 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
236 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 62.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 174 from 236, we get 62.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 62, then repeat: 629 / 87

On to step 4:
87 can be fit into 629 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 609 from 629 and we're left with 20.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 207 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
87 goes into 207 2 times with a remainder of 33.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 272.0
Subtract 174 from 207 to get 33.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 339 / 87

On to step 6:
87 can be fit into 339 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2723.0
If we subtract 261 from 339, we get 78.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 78, then repeat: 781 / 87

Going ahead to step 7:
87 can be fit into 781 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 27238.0
If we subtract 696 from 781, we get 85.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 85, then repeat: 859 / 87

Advancing to step 8:
859 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 272389.0
If we subtract 783 from 859, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 760 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 272389.8
If we subtract 696 from 760, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
87 goes into 640 7 times with a remainder of 31.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 272389.87
Deduct 609 from 640 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 11:
87 can be fit into 310 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 272389.873
If we subtract 261 from 310, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 490 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 272389.8735
Subtracting 435 from 490 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 550 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 272389.87356
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 522 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 280 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 272389.873563
Subtract 261 from 280 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 15:
87 can be fit into 190 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 272389.8735632
If we take 174 away from 190, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
87 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 73.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 272389.87356321
Deduct 87 from 160 and we're left with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Our division results in 272389.87356321 with a remaining 7.3e-08.
