We divide 723899 by 87
Our goal is to divide 723899 by 87.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 0 from 72.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 723 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
723 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 27.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 696 from 723 to get 27.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 278 / 87

On to step 4:
If we divide 278 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 83.0
If we take 261 away from 278, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 179 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
87 can be fit into 179 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 832.0
If we subtract 174 from 179, we get 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
59 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 59.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8320.0
If we take 0 away from 59, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 590 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8320.6
If we take 522 away from 590, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 680 7 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8320.67
Subtracting 609 from 680 leaves us with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 710 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8320.678
Subtract 696 from 710 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 140 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8320.6781
Subtracting 87 from 140 leaves us with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 530 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8320.67816
Deduct 522 from 530 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8320.67816
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 13:
87 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8320.6781609
If we subtract 783 from 800, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 170 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 83.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8320.67816091
Subtracting 87 from 170 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 8320.67816091 and a remainder of 8.3e-08.
