Let's divide 977941 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 977941 can be divided by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
97 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 87 from 97, we get 10.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 107 / 87

Step 3:
87 can be fit into 107 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 87 away from 107, we end up with 20.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 209 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 209 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 112.0
Subtract 174 from 209 to get 35.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 354 / 87

Step 5:
When dividing 354 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1124.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 348 from 354.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 61 / 87

On to step 6:
If we divide 61 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11240.0
Subtracting 0 from 61 leaves us with 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 7:
87 can be fit into 610 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11240.7
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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 10 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11240.7
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 100 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11240.701
Subtracting 87 from 100 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 130 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11240.7011
If we subtract 87 from 130, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 11240.7011, with a leftover of 0.00043.
