We're dividing 847041 by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 847041 can be divided by 87.

Step 1:
87 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 84 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
87 can be fit into 84 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 0 from 84.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 84, then repeat: 847 / 87

On to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 847 9 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 783 away from 847, we end up with 64.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 640 / 87

Step 4:
640 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 97.0
If we take 609 away from 640, we end up with 31.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 314 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
87 can be fit into 314 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 973.0
Subtracting 261 from 314 leaves us with 53.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 531 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 531 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9736.0
If we take 522 away from 531, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9736.1
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.

Step 8:
87 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9736.1
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
87 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9736.103
If we take 261 away from 300, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 390 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9736.1034
Subtracting 348 from 390 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 420 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 9736.10344
Deduct 348 from 420 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9736.10344 with a remaining 7.2e-05.
