Let's divide 984721 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 984721 can be divided by 87.

Step 1:
When dividing 9 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
87 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 87 from 98 and we're left with 11.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 114 / 87

On to step 3:
87 goes into 114 1 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 87 away from 114, we end up with 27.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 277 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 277 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 113.0
Subtract 261 from 277 to get 16.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 162 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 162 1 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1131.0
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 87 from 162.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 75 and repeat the process: 751 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 751 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 55.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11318.0
If we subtract 696 from 751, we get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 550 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11318.6
Subtract 522 from 550 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 8:
87 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11318.63
If we take 261 away from 280, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 190 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11318.632
If we take 174 away from 190, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
87 can be fit into 160 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11318.6321
Subtracting 87 from 160 leaves us with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
87 goes into 730 8 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11318.63218
Subtract 696 from 730 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 87 fits into 340 3 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11318.632183
Subtracting 261 from 340 leaves us with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
87 can be fit into 790 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11318.6321839
If we take 783 away from 790, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 87 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11318.6321839
Deduct 0 from 70 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11318.6321839 with a remaining 7e-08.
