We look at the division of 246666 by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 246666 can be divided by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 2 0 times, leaving 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.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 87

On to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 246 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 246 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 174 away from 246, we end up with 72.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 726 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 726 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 696 from 726.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 306 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 306 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 45.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 283.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 261 from 306.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 456 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 456 5 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2835.0
If we subtract 435 from 456, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
210 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2835.2
Subtract 174 from 210 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
360 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2835.24
Subtract 348 from 360 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2835.241
Subtracting 87 from 120 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 330 3 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2835.2413
Deduct 261 from 330 and we're left with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 11:
87 goes into 690 7 times with a remainder of 81.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2835.24137
Subtracting 609 from 690 leaves us with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 810 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2835.241379
If we take 783 away from 810, we end up with 27.
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 13:
87 can be fit into 270 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2835.2413793
If we subtract 261 from 270, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 14:
87 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2835.24137931
If we take 87 away from 90, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2835.24137931, and the remainder is 3e-09.
