Let's divide 984859 by 87
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 984859.

Advancing to step 1:
87 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
87 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 87 from 98.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 114 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
87 goes into 114 1 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 87 from 114 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 278 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 278 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 113.0
If we subtract 261 from 278, we get 17.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 175 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 175 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1132.0
Deduct 174 from 175 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
87 goes into 19 0 times with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11320.0
If we take 0 away from 19, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
87 can be fit into 190 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11320.2
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 174 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
87 can be fit into 160 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11320.21
If we subtract 87 from 160, we get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
730 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11320.218
Subtract 696 from 730 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 340 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 79.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11320.2183
Subtract 261 from 340 to get 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Step 11:
790 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11320.21839
If we take 783 away from 790, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
87 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11320.21839
If we subtract 0 from 70, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
87 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11320.2183908
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 696 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 40 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11320.2183908
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11320.2183908 and a remainder of 4e-08.
