124271 ÷ 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 124271 can be divided by 87.

Step 1:
The number 87 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
12 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 124 / 87

Step 3:
87 can be fit into 124 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 87 from 124, we get 37.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 372 / 87

Step 4:
The number 87 fits into 372 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 348 from 372 leaves us with 24.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 247 / 87

Step 5:
247 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 142.0
Subtracting 174 from 247 leaves us with 73.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 73, then repeat: 731 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 731 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 35.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1428.0
Subtract 696 from 731 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 350 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1428.4
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 348 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
20 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1428.4
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
200 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1428.402
If we take 174 away from 200, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
87 can be fit into 260 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1428.4022
Subtract 174 from 260 to get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1428.4022 with a balance of 0.00086.
