We divide 238983 by 87
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 238983.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
87 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 238 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 238 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 64.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 174 from 238 to get 64.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 64, then repeat: 649 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
87 can be fit into 649 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 609 from 649 leaves us with 40.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 408 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
408 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 274.0
If we take 348 away from 408, we end up with 60.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 60 and continue with: 603 / 87

Step 6:
When dividing 603 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 81.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2746.0
Subtracting 522 from 603 leaves us with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Step 7:
810 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2746.9
If we subtract 783 from 810, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
87 can be fit into 270 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2746.93
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 261 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 90 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2746.931
Subtract 87 from 90 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
30 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2746.931
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
300 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2746.93103
Subtracting 261 from 300 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 390 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2746.931034
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 348 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 420 4 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2746.9310344
If we subtract 348 from 420, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2746.9310344, and the remainder is 7.2e-07.
