We look at the division of 265989 by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 265989 can be divided by 87.

Step 1:
The number 87 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
87 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 265 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 265 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 261 from 265 to get 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 87

On to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 498 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
498 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 305.0
If we take 435 away from 498, we end up with 63.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 639 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 639 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 30.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3057.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 609 from 639.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
87 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3057.3
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 261 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 390 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3057.34
If we subtract 348 from 390, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 420 4 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3057.344
Deduct 348 from 420 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3057.344 and a remainder of 0.0072.
