Let's divide 290408 by 87
We want to divide 290408 by 87.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 29 0 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 290 / 87

On to step 3:
When dividing 290 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 261 from 290, we get 29.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 294 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
294 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 33.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtracting 261 from 294 leaves us with 33.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 330 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
330 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 69.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 333.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 261 from 330.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 698 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 698 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3338.0
Deduct 696 from 698 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
20 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3338.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
87 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3338.02
If we subtract 174 from 200, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
87 can be fit into 260 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3338.022
Deduct 174 from 260 and we're left with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3338.022 with a balance of 0.0086.
