Let's divide 173262 by 87
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 173262.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 173 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 173 1 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 87 from 173 to get 86.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 86 and continue: 862 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
87 goes into 862 9 times with a remainder of 79.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 783 away from 862, we end up with 79.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 79, then repeat: 796 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 796 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 199.0
Deduct 783 from 796 and we're left with 13.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 132 / 87

Step 6:
132 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1991.0
Deduct 87 from 132 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 7:
If we divide 450 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1991.5
Subtracting 435 from 450 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 150 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 63.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1991.51
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 87 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 630 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1991.517
If we take 609 away from 630, 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
210 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1991.5172
If we take 174 away from 210, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
87 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1991.51724
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 348 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 120 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 33.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1991.517241
Subtracting 87 from 120 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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 330 3 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1991.5172413
If we take 261 away from 330, we end up 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 14:
87 can be fit into 690 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 81.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1991.51724137
The remainder is 81 after subtracting 609 from 690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1991.51724137, and the remainder is 8.1e-08.
