Let's divide 265967 by 87
Our goal is to divide 265967 by 87.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 87

On to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to get 26.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 265 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 265 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 261 from 265 to get 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
87 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtract 0 from 49 to get 49.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 496 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 496 5 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 305.0
Subtract 435 from 496 to get 61.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 617 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
87 can be fit into 617 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3057.0
Deduct 609 from 617 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3057.0
Subtracting 0 from 80 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
87 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3057.09
Subtract 783 from 800 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 170 1 times, leaving a remainder of 83.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3057.091
The remainder is 83 after subtracting 87 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
830 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 47.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3057.0919
Subtract 783 from 830 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 470 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3057.09195
Subtract 435 from 470 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 350 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3057.091954
Subtract 348 from 350 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3057.091954
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 200 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3057.09195402
If we take 174 away from 200, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3057.09195402 with a balance of 2.6e-08.
