260772 divided by 87 
Our goal is to divide 260772 by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
87 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 260 / 87

Step 3:
When dividing 260 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 86.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 174 from 260 and we're left with 86.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 86, then repeat: 867 / 87

Step 4:
87 goes into 867 9 times with a remainder of 84.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we subtract 783 from 867, we get 84.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 84, then repeat: 847 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
847 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 299.0
If we subtract 783 from 847, we get 64.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 642 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
87 goes into 642 7 times with a remainder of 33.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2997.0
Deduct 609 from 642 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 87 fits into 330 3 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2997.3
If we take 261 away from 330, we end up with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
690 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 81.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2997.37
If we subtract 609 from 690, we get 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
87 goes into 810 9 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2997.379
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 783 from 810.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 10:
87 can be fit into 270 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2997.3793
Subtracting 261 from 270 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
87 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2997.37931
If we subtract 87 from 90, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 87 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2997.37931
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2997.3793103
If we subtract 261 from 300, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
390 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2997.37931034
Deduct 348 from 390 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2997.37931034 and a remainder of 4.2e-08.
