Let's divide 972768 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 972768 can be divided by 87.

On to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 87

Step 2:
If we divide 97 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 87 from 97 and we're left with 10.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 102 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
102 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 87 from 102 to get 15.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 157 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
87 can be fit into 157 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 111.0
Subtracting 87 from 157 leaves us with 70.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 706 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
706 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1118.0
Subtracting 696 from 706 leaves us with 10.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 108 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 108 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 21.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11181.0
If we take 87 away from 108, we end up 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 210 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11181.2
Deduct 174 from 210 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 87 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11181.24
If we take 348 away from 360, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11181.241
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 87 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 10:
330 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 69.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11181.2413
Deduct 261 from 330 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 690 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 81.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11181.24137
Subtracting 609 from 690 leaves us with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
87 goes into 810 9 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11181.241379
Subtract 783 from 810 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
87 goes into 270 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11181.2413793
Subtracting 261 from 270 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
87 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11181.24137931
Deduct 87 from 90 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11181.24137931 and a remainder of 3e-09.
