We look at the division of 999271 by 87 
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 999271.

Advancing to step 1:
87 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
87 goes into 99 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 87 from 99.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 129 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 129 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 87 from 129.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 422 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 422 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 74.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 114.0
Subtract 348 from 422 to get 74.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 747 / 87

On to step 5:
If we divide 747 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 51.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1148.0
If we subtract 696 from 747, we get 51.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 511 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
87 can be fit into 511 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11485.0
If we take 435 away from 511, we end up with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
87 can be fit into 760 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11485.8
Subtracting 696 from 760 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 640 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11485.87
If we take 609 away from 640, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
310 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11485.873
If we subtract 261 from 310, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
87 can be fit into 490 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11485.8735
If we take 435 away from 490, we end up with 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 11:
87 can be fit into 550 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11485.87356
Deduct 522 from 550 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
87 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11485.873563
If we subtract 261 from 280, we get 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 13:
When dividing 190 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11485.8735632
If we take 174 away from 190, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
87 can be fit into 160 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11485.87356321
If we subtract 87 from 160, we get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11485.87356321 and a remainder of 7.3e-08.
