We look at the division of 273831 by 87 
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 273831.

On to step 1:
87 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 273 / 87

Step 3:
87 goes into 273 3 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 261 from 273 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 128 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
87 goes into 128 1 times with a remainder of 41.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 87 away from 128, we end up with 41.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 413 / 87

Step 5:
If we divide 413 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 314.0
Deduct 348 from 413 and we're left with 65.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 65 and repeat the process: 651 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 651 7 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3147.0
If we subtract 609 from 651, 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 7:
If we divide 420 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 72.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3147.4
Subtracting 348 from 420 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
87 goes into 720 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3147.48
Subtracting 696 from 720 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 240 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3147.482
Subtract 174 from 240 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 10:
87 can be fit into 660 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3147.4827
If we take 609 away from 660, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 510 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3147.48275
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 435 from 510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 750 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3147.482758
If we subtract 696 from 750, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 540 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3147.4827586
Subtract 522 from 540 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
180 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3147.48275862
If we subtract 174 from 180, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3147.48275862, with a leftover of 6e-09.
