We divide 229547 by 87
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 229547.

Moving on 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
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 87

On to step 2:
22 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 22 and we're left with 22.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 229 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
229 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 174 from 229 and we're left with 55.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 555 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 555 6 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 26.0
Deduct 522 from 555 and we're left with 33.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 334 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
87 can be fit into 334 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 263.0
Deduct 261 from 334 and we're left with 73.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 737 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 737 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2638.0
If we take 696 away from 737, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 410 4 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2638.4
Deduct 348 from 410 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
87 can be fit into 620 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2638.47
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 609 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 110 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2638.471
Subtract 87 from 110 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
230 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 56.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2638.4712
Subtract 174 from 230 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 560 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 38.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2638.47126
If we subtract 522 from 560, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 12:
87 goes into 380 4 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2638.471264
If we subtract 348 from 380, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
87 goes into 320 3 times with a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2638.4712643
Deduct 261 from 320 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
87 goes into 590 6 times with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2638.47126436
Deduct 522 from 590 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2638.47126436 with a balance of 6.8e-08.
