Let's divide 956173 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 956173 can be divided by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 9 0 times, leaving 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.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 95 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 95 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 87 from 95 to get 8.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 86 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 86 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 86.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 86 leaves us with 86.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 86 and continue with: 861 / 87

Step 4:
When dividing 861 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 78.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 109.0
The remainder is 78 after subtracting 783 from 861.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 78, then repeat: 787 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
787 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1099.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 783 from 787.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 43 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
43 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10990.0
Subtracting 0 from 43 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 430 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 82.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10990.4
The remainder is 82 after subtracting 348 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
87 can be fit into 820 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10990.49
If we subtract 783 from 820, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 9:
370 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10990.494
Deduct 348 from 370 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 220 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10990.4942
If we take 174 away from 220, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 460 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10990.49425
Deduct 435 from 460 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 250 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 76.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10990.494252
Deduct 174 from 250 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
87 can be fit into 760 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10990.4942528
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.

Step 14:
640 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10990.49425287
If we subtract 609 from 640, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 10990.49425287, with a leftover of 3.1e-08.
