We're dividing 186542 by 87 
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 186542.

On to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 186 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
87 goes into 186 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 174 from 186 and we're left with 12.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 125 / 87

Step 4:
If we divide 125 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 87 from 125 to get 38.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 384 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 384 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 214.0
Deduct 348 from 384 and we're left with 36.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 362 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 362 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2144.0
Subtract 348 from 362 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.

On to step 7:
87 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2144.1
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.

Moving on to step 8:
87 can be fit into 530 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2144.16
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.

Step 9:
80 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2144.16
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2144.1609
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.

Step 11:
87 can be fit into 170 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 83.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2144.16091
If we subtract 87 from 170, we get 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 12:
87 can be fit into 830 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2144.160919
If we take 783 away from 830, we end up 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 13:
87 can be fit into 470 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2144.1609195
Subtracting 435 from 470 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 87 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2144.16091954
Subtracting 348 from 350 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2144.16091954 with a remaining 2e-09.
