997279 ÷ 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 997279 can be divided by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
87 can be fit into 99 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 87 from 99 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 127 / 87

Step 3:
87 can be fit into 127 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 87 from 127, we get 40.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 402 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 402 4 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 114.0
If we take 348 away from 402, we end up with 54.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 547 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 547 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1146.0
If we take 522 away from 547, we end up with 25.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 259 / 87

On to step 6:
When dividing 259 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 85.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11462.0
Subtracting 174 from 259 leaves us with 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 850 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11462.9
Subtract 783 from 850 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
87 can be fit into 670 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11462.97
Subtract 609 from 670 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
87 can be fit into 610 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11462.977
Deduct 609 from 610 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 11462.977 with a balance of 0.0001.
