We divide 124599 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 124599 can be divided by 87.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 12 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 124 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
124 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 87 from 124 leaves us with 37.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 375 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
87 can be fit into 375 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 348 from 375.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 279 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 279 3 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 143.0
If we take 261 away from 279, we end up with 18.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 189 / 87

On to step 6:
87 goes into 189 2 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1432.0
Subtracting 174 from 189 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
150 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 63.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1432.1
Subtract 87 from 150 to get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 630 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1432.17
Deduct 609 from 630 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 210 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1432.172
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 174 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
87 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1432.1724
Subtract 348 from 360 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 120 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1432.17241
If we subtract 87 from 120, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 12:
330 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1432.172413
Subtracting 261 from 330 leaves us with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 690 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 81.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1432.1724137
The remainder is 81 after subtracting 609 from 690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
87 can be fit into 810 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1432.17241379
Deduct 783 from 810 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1432.17241379 and a remainder of 2.7e-08.
