We divide 864978 by 99
We want to divide 864978 by 99.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 99, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 86 / 99

Step 2:
99 can be fit into 86 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 86 leaves us with 86.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 86, then repeat: 864 / 99

On to step 3:
864 divided by 99 is 8 with a remainder of 72.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 792 away from 864, we end up with 72.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 729 / 99

Advancing to step 4:
The number 99 fits into 729 7 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 87.0
Subtracting 693 from 729 leaves us with 36.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 367 / 99

Advancing to step 5:
99 goes into 367 3 times with a remainder of 70.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 873.0
Subtracting 297 from 367 leaves us with 70.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 70 and continue: 708 / 99

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 708 by 99, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8737.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 693 from 708.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 150 by 99, we get 1 and a remainder of 51.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8737.1
Subtracting 99 from 150 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
99 goes into 510 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8737.15
Deduct 495 from 510 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.

On to step 9:
99 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8737.151
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 99 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
99 can be fit into 510 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8737.1515
If we take 495 away from 510, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
The number 99 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8737.15151
Subtracting 99 from 150 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
99 can be fit into 510 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8737.151515
If we subtract 495 from 510, 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.

Step 13:
When dividing 150 by 99, we get 1 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8737.1515151
Deduct 99 from 150 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 14:
99 goes into 510 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8737.15151515
Subtract 495 from 510 to 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.

The quotient of the division is 8737.15151515, and the remainder is 1.5e-08.
