We're dividing 233011 by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 233011 can be divided by 87.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 87, we get 0 and 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.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 87

Step 2:
If we divide 23 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 233 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 233 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 59.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 174 away from 233, we end up with 59.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 590 / 87

Step 4:
87 goes into 590 6 times with a remainder of 68.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtracting 522 from 590 leaves us with 68.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 68, then repeat: 681 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
87 can be fit into 681 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 267.0
Subtract 609 from 681 to get 72.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 721 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 721 8 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2678.0
Deduct 696 from 721 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
250 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 76.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2678.2
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 174 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 760 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2678.28
Subtracting 696 from 760 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 640 7 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2678.287
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 609 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 310 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 49.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2678.2873
Subtract 261 from 310 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 490 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2678.28735
Deduct 435 from 490 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 550 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2678.287356
If we subtract 522 from 550, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 13:
87 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2678.2873563
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 261 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 190 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2678.28735632
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 174 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2678.28735632 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
