Let's divide 210697 by 87
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 210697.

Let's proceed 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
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 210 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 210 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 174 from 210.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 366 / 87

Step 4:
When dividing 366 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtracting 348 from 366 leaves us with 18.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 189 / 87

On to step 5:
When dividing 189 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 242.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 174 from 189.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 157 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
157 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2421.0
Subtract 87 from 157 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 700 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2421.8
If we subtract 696 from 700, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
87 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2421.8
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2421.804
Deduct 348 from 400 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 520 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 85.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2421.8045
The remainder is 85 after subtracting 435 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 850 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2421.80459
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 783 from 850.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
670 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 61.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2421.804597
Subtract 609 from 670 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 610 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2421.8045977
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 609 from 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final result is 2421.8045977 with a remainder of 1e-08.
