Let's divide 282967 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 282967 can be divided by 87.

On to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 282 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
282 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 261 from 282.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 219 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 219 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 45.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 174 away from 219, we end up with 45.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 456 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
87 can be fit into 456 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 325.0
Subtract 435 from 456 to get 21.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 217 / 87

On to step 6:
If we divide 217 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 43.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3252.0
Deduct 174 from 217 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
430 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 82.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3252.4
Deduct 348 from 430 and we're left with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 820 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3252.49
If we take 783 away from 820, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 370 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3252.494
If we subtract 348 from 370, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 220 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 46.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3252.4942
If we subtract 174 from 220, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 87 fits into 460 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3252.49425
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 435 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
87 goes into 250 2 times with a remainder of 76.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3252.494252
If we subtract 174 from 250, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 760 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3252.4942528
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 696 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
640 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3252.49425287
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 609 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3252.49425287, with a leftover of 3.1e-08.
