We look at the division of 261780 by 87 
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 261780.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
87 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 261 / 87

On to step 3:
If we divide 261 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 261 from 261 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
87 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
87 can be fit into 78 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 300.0
Subtracting 0 from 78 leaves us with 78.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 78, then carry on: 780 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 780 8 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3008.0
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 696 from 780.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
87 can be fit into 840 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3008.9
Deduct 783 from 840 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 570 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3008.96
Subtracting 522 from 570 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
87 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3008.965
Deduct 435 from 480 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 450 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3008.9655
Deduct 435 from 450 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3008.9655, with a leftover of 0.00015.
