We're dividing 279064 by 87 
Our goal is to divide 279064 by 87.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
87 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 279 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
279 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 261 away from 279, we end up with 18.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 180 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 180 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 174 away from 180, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 66 / 87

Step 5:
The number 87 fits into 66 0 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 320.0
Deduct 0 from 66 and we're left with 66.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 664 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
664 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3207.0
Subtracting 609 from 664 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.

Moving on to step 7:
87 can be fit into 550 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3207.6
Subtracting 522 from 550 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
280 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3207.63
If we subtract 261 from 280, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 190 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3207.632
Subtract 174 from 190 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
160 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3207.6321
Subtracting 87 from 160 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 730 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3207.63218
If we subtract 696 from 730, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
87 goes into 340 3 times with a remainder of 79.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3207.632183
Subtracting 261 from 340 leaves us with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 790 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3207.6321839
If we subtract 783 from 790, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
87 goes into 70 0 times with a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3207.6321839
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3207.6321839 and a remainder of 7e-08.
