We divide 868479 by 87
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 868479.

On to step 1:
87 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 86 / 87

Step 2:
87 can be fit into 86 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 86, we get 86.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 86, then carry on: 868 / 87

Step 3:
When dividing 868 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 85.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 783 from 868, we get 85.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 85, then carry on: 854 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
87 goes into 854 9 times with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 99.0
Subtract 783 from 854 to get 71.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 717 / 87

On to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 717 8 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 998.0
If we subtract 696 from 717, we get 21.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 219 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
87 can be fit into 219 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9982.0
If we subtract 174 from 219, we get 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.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9982.5
If we subtract 435 from 450, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 150 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 9982.51
If we subtract 87 from 150, we get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 630 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9982.517
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
210 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9982.5172
If we subtract 174 from 210, we 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.

Step 11:
87 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9982.51724
Subtract 348 from 360 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 120 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 9982.517241
If we subtract 87 from 120, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 330 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 69.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9982.5172413
If we subtract 261 from 330, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
690 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 81.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9982.51724137
If we subtract 609 from 690, we get 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

The final result is 9982.51724137 with a remainder of 8.1e-08.
