Let's divide 970823 by 87
Our goal is to divide 970823 by 87.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 87

On to step 2:
87 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 87 from 97.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 100 / 87

On to step 3:
If we divide 100 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 87 from 100, we get 13.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 138 / 87

On to step 4:
If we divide 138 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 51.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 111.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 87 from 138.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 512 / 87

On to step 5:
87 can be fit into 512 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1115.0
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 435 from 512.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 77, then carry on: 773 / 87

Step 6:
If we divide 773 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 77.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11158.0
Deduct 696 from 773 and we're left with 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 770 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 74.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11158.8
If we subtract 696 from 770, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
87 goes into 740 8 times with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11158.88
Deduct 696 from 740 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 11158.88, and the remainder is 0.044.
