Let's divide 987882 by 57
We want to divide 987882 by 57.

On to step 1:
57 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 57

Going ahead to step 2:
98 divided by 57 is 1 with a remainder of 41.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 57 from 98 to get 41.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 417 / 57

Step 3:
When dividing 417 by 57, we get 7 with a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 399 from 417.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 188 / 57

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 188 by 57, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 173.0
Subtracting 171 from 188 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 57

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 178 by 57, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1733.0
If we subtract 171 from 178, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 57

Advancing to step 6:
57 can be fit into 72 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17331.0
Deduct 57 from 72 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
57 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17331.2
Subtract 114 from 150 to get 36.
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 8:
57 goes into 360 6 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17331.26
Subtracting 342 from 360 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
180 divided by 57 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17331.263
Deduct 171 from 180 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 90 by 57, we get 1 and a remainder of 33.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17331.2631
Subtracting 57 from 90 leaves us with 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 11:
57 can be fit into 330 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17331.26315
Deduct 285 from 330 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 450 by 57, we get 7 and a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17331.263157
Deduct 399 from 450 and we're left with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 510 by 57, we get 8 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17331.2631578
Deduct 456 from 510 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 57 fits into 540 9 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17331.26315789
Subtract 513 from 540 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.

After the division, we end up with 17331.26315789 and a remainder of 2.7e-08.
