Let's divide 286472 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 286472 can be divided by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 286 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 286 3 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 261 from 286.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 254 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 254 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 80.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 174 from 254.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 80 and repeat the process: 807 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 807 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 24.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 329.0
If we take 783 away from 807, we end up with 24.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 242 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 242 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 68.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3292.0
Subtract 174 from 242 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
87 can be fit into 680 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3292.7
If we take 609 away from 680, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 710 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3292.78
Subtract 696 from 710 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 140 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3292.781
Subtracting 87 from 140 leaves us with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 530 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3292.7816
If we take 522 away from 530, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
87 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3292.7816
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
87 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3292.781609
Subtracting 783 from 800 leaves us with 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 13:
When dividing 170 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 83.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3292.7816091
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.

Step 14:
87 can be fit into 830 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3292.78160919
Deduct 783 from 830 and we're left 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.

The final result is 3292.78160919 with a remainder of 4.7e-08.
