We look at the division of 254901 by 87 
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 254901.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
87 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 254 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
87 can be fit into 254 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 174 from 254 leaves us with 80.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 80 and continue: 809 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 809 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 783 from 809 leaves us with 26.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 260 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 260 2 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 292.0
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 174 from 260.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 86, then repeat: 861 / 87

On to step 6:
When dividing 861 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2929.0
Subtract 783 from 861 to get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
87 goes into 780 8 times with a remainder of 84.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2929.8
Subtract 696 from 780 to get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 840 9 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2929.89
If we take 783 away from 840, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 570 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2929.896
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 522 from 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2929.8965
Deduct 435 from 480 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
450 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2929.89655
Subtracting 435 from 450 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2929.89655 with a balance of 1.5e-05.
