We're dividing 987968 by 99 
We want to divide 987968 by 99.

Step 1:
9 divided by 99 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 99

On to step 2:
The number 99 fits into 98 0 times, leaving a remainder of 98.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 98 to get 98.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 98, then repeat: 987 / 99

Step 3:
99 goes into 987 9 times with a remainder of 96.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 891 from 987 leaves us with 96.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 96, then repeat: 969 / 99

Advancing to step 4:
969 divided by 99 is 9 with a remainder of 78.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 99.0
If we take 891 away from 969, we end up with 78.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 78, then repeat: 786 / 99

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 786 by 99, we get 7 and a remainder of 93.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 997.0
Subtract 693 from 786 to get 93.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 93 and continue with: 938 / 99

On to step 6:
99 goes into 938 9 times with a remainder of 47.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9979.0
Deduct 891 from 938 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
99 can be fit into 470 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9979.4
Subtract 396 from 470 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
99 goes into 740 7 times with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 9979.47
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 693 from 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
99 can be fit into 470 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9979.474
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 396 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
99 goes into 740 7 times with a remainder of 47.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9979.4747
Subtracting 693 from 740 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
470 divided by 99 is 4 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9979.47474
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 396 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 740 by 99, we get 7 with a remainder of 47.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9979.474747
Subtract 693 from 740 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 99 fits into 470 4 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9979.4747474
Subtracting 396 from 470 leaves us with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 99 fits into 740 7 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9979.47474747
If we take 693 away from 740, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 9979.47474747, and the remainder is 4.7e-08.
