We're dividing 764042 by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 764042 can be divided by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
87 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 76 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
76 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 76.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 76 leaves us with 76.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 76, then repeat: 764 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 764 8 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 696 from 764 to get 68.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 68, then carry on: 680 / 87

Step 4:
87 can be fit into 680 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 87.0
If we take 609 away from 680, we end up with 71.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 714 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
87 can be fit into 714 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 878.0
If we subtract 696 from 714, we get 18.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 182 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
87 goes into 182 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8782.0
Subtracting 174 from 182 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 7:
87 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8782.0
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
87 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8782.09
If we subtract 783 from 800, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 170 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 83.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8782.091
If we take 87 away from 170, we end up with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
87 can be fit into 830 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8782.0919
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 783 from 830.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 470 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8782.09195
If we take 435 away from 470, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 350 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8782.091954
Deduct 348 from 350 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
87 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8782.091954
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
87 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8782.09195402
Subtract 174 from 200 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8782.09195402 with a balance of 2.6e-08.
