We're dividing 171706 by 87 
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 171706.

Advancing to step 1:
87 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 87

On to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 171 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 171 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 87 from 171 and we're left with 84.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 84, then carry on: 847 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 847 9 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtracting 783 from 847 leaves us with 64.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 640 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 640 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 31.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 197.0
Deduct 609 from 640 and we're left with 31.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 316 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 316 3 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1973.0
If we subtract 261 from 316, we get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 550 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1973.6
Subtract 522 from 550 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 280 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1973.63
If we take 261 away from 280, 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.

On to step 9:
87 can be fit into 190 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1973.632
If we subtract 174 from 190, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 160 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 73.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1973.6321
Subtracting 87 from 160 leaves us with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
730 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1973.63218
If we subtract 696 from 730, we 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 12:
87 can be fit into 340 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 79.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1973.632183
If we subtract 261 from 340, we 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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 790 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1973.6321839
If we subtract 783 from 790, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 70 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1973.6321839
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

The final result is 1973.6321839 with a remainder of 7e-08.
