We divide 304256 by 87
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 304256.

Step 1:
The number 87 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 30 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 30 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 304 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 304 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 261 away from 304, we end up with 43.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 432 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 432 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtract 348 from 432 to get 84.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 84 and repeat the process: 845 / 87

On to step 5:
If we divide 845 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 62.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 349.0
If we take 783 away from 845, we end up with 62.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 62 and repeat the process: 626 / 87

Step 6:
87 can be fit into 626 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3497.0
Subtract 609 from 626 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
87 can be fit into 170 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 83.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3497.1
Deduct 87 from 170 and we're left with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
87 can be fit into 830 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3497.19
Subtracting 783 from 830 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
87 can be fit into 470 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3497.195
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.

On to step 10:
87 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3497.1954
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 348 from 350.
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 11:
The number 87 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3497.1954
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 200 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3497.195402
Subtracting 174 from 200 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 260 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 86.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3497.1954022
If we subtract 174 from 260, we get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3497.1954022 and a remainder of 8.6e-07.
