We divide 767971 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 767971 can be divided by 87.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 76 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
76 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 76.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 76 and we're left with 76.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 76, then carry on: 767 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
767 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 696 from 767.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 719 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
719 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 88.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 696 from 719.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 237 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
87 can be fit into 237 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 882.0
Deduct 174 from 237 and we're left with 63.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 63 and repeat the process: 631 / 87

On to step 6:
When dividing 631 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8827.0
Deduct 609 from 631 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
87 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8827.2
Subtract 174 from 220 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
460 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8827.25
Subtract 435 from 460 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 250 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 76.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8827.252
If we subtract 174 from 250, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
760 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8827.2528
If we take 696 away from 760, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
640 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8827.25287
Subtract 609 from 640 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 310 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 49.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8827.252873
If we take 261 away from 310, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
87 goes into 490 5 times with a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8827.2528735
If we take 435 away from 490, we end up with 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 14:
The number 87 fits into 550 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8827.25287356
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 522 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8827.25287356 and a remainder of 2.8e-08.
