We divide 260175 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 260175 can be divided by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
87 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 260 / 87

On to step 3:
If we divide 260 by 87, we get 2 and 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.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 86 and continue: 861 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
87 can be fit into 861 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 783 away from 861, we end up with 78.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 78, then repeat: 787 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 787 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 299.0
If we take 783 away from 787, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 45 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 45 0 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2990.0
Subtracting 0 from 45 leaves us 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 450 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2990.5
If we take 435 away from 450, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
150 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 63.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2990.51
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 87 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 630 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2990.517
If we take 609 away from 630, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 210 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2990.5172
Subtract 174 from 210 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
87 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2990.51724
Subtract 348 from 360 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 12:
120 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 33.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2990.517241
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 87 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 330 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 69.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2990.5172413
Subtract 261 from 330 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 690 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 81.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2990.51724137
Subtract 609 from 690 to 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.

Our division results in 2990.51724137 with a remaining 8.1e-08.
