271538 ÷ 87 
We want to divide 271538 by 87.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
87 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 271 / 87

Step 3:
When dividing 271 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 261 from 271 to get 10.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 105 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 105 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 87 from 105 to get 18.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 183 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 183 2 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 312.0
If we subtract 174 from 183, we get 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 98 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3121.0
Subtract 87 from 98 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3121.1
Subtract 87 from 110 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 230 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 56.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3121.12
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 174 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 560 6 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3121.126
If we take 522 away from 560, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 380 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3121.1264
If we subtract 348 from 380, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
87 goes into 320 3 times with a remainder of 59.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3121.12643
If we take 261 away from 320, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 590 6 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3121.126436
If we subtract 522 from 590, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
87 goes into 680 7 times with a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3121.1264367
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 609 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 710 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3121.12643678
Deduct 696 from 710 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3121.12643678 and a remainder of 1.4e-08.
