We divide 156479 by 87
Our goal is to divide 156479 by 87.

On to step 1:
87 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
15 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 156 / 87

Step 3:
When dividing 156 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 69.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 87 from 156 leaves us with 69.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 69 and repeat the process: 694 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 694 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 85.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 609 from 694 to get 85.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 85, then repeat: 857 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
87 goes into 857 9 times with a remainder of 74.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 179.0
If we take 783 away from 857, we end up with 74.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 749 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
87 can be fit into 749 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1798.0
Subtract 696 from 749 to get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
87 goes into 530 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1798.6
If we take 522 away from 530, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1798.6
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
87 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1798.609
If we take 783 away from 800, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
87 can be fit into 170 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 83.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1798.6091
Deduct 87 from 170 and we're left with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 830 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 47.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1798.60919
If we take 783 away from 830, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 12:
87 can be fit into 470 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1798.609195
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 435 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
350 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1798.6091954
Deduct 348 from 350 and we're left with 2.
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 14:
If we divide 20 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1798.6091954
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1798.6091954, and the remainder is 2e-08.
