254729 ÷ 87 
Our goal is to divide 254729 by 87.

Step 1:
The number 87 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 254 / 87

On to step 3:
87 goes into 254 2 times with a remainder of 80.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 174 from 254.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 80, then carry on: 807 / 87

Step 4:
If we divide 807 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 24.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 783 from 807.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 242 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
87 goes into 242 2 times with a remainder of 68.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 292.0
Subtracting 174 from 242 leaves us with 68.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 68, then repeat: 689 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 689 7 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2927.0
If we subtract 609 from 689, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
87 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2927.9
Deduct 783 from 800 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
170 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 83.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2927.91
If we take 87 away from 170, we end up with 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 9:
If we divide 830 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 47.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2927.919
Subtract 783 from 830 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 10:
87 can be fit into 470 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2927.9195
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 435 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 350 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2927.91954
If we take 348 away from 350, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2927.91954
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
200 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2927.9195402
Subtract 174 from 200 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 87 fits into 260 2 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2927.91954022
If we subtract 174 from 260, we get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

The final result is 2927.91954022 with a remainder of 8.6e-08.
