Let's divide 250788 by 87
Our goal is to divide 250788 by 87.

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
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 87

Step 2:
When dividing 25 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 250 / 87

Step 3:
250 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 174 from 250 to get 76.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 76 and continue with: 767 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
87 goes into 767 8 times with a remainder of 71.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 696 from 767.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 71 and continue with: 718 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 718 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 288.0
Subtracting 696 from 718 leaves us with 22.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 228 / 87

On to step 6:
When dividing 228 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 54.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2882.0
Subtracting 174 from 228 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
87 can be fit into 540 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2882.6
If we take 522 away from 540, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 180 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2882.62
If we take 174 away from 180, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
87 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2882.62
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 10:
87 goes into 600 6 times with a remainder of 78.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2882.6206
Subtracting 522 from 600 leaves us with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
780 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2882.62068
If we subtract 696 from 780, we get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Step 12:
87 goes into 840 9 times with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2882.620689
Subtracting 783 from 840 leaves us 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 13:
When dividing 570 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2882.6206896
If we subtract 522 from 570, we get 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 14:
87 goes into 480 5 times with a remainder of 45.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2882.62068965
If we subtract 435 from 480, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2882.62068965 with a remaining 4.5e-08.
