We divide 842987 by 69
We're looking to find how many times 69 goes into 842987.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 69, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 84 / 69

Step 2:
If we divide 84 by 69, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 69 from 84, we get 15.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 152 / 69

On to step 3:
The number 69 fits into 152 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 138 from 152 leaves us with 14.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 149 / 69

On to step 4:
If we divide 149 by 69, we get 2 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 122.0
Subtracting 138 from 149 leaves us with 11.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 118 / 69

Going ahead to step 5:
69 goes into 118 1 times with a remainder of 49.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1221.0
Deduct 69 from 118 and we're left with 49.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 497 / 69

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 497 by 69, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12217.0
If we take 483 away from 497, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 140 by 69, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12217.2
If we subtract 138 from 140, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
20 divided by 69 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12217.2
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
69 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12217.202
If we subtract 138 from 200, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 10:
620 divided by 69 is 8 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12217.2028
Deduct 552 from 620 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 69 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12217.20289
Subtract 621 from 680 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
69 can be fit into 590 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12217.202898
If we take 552 away from 590, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 13:
69 can be fit into 380 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12217.2028985
Deduct 345 from 380 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 350 by 69, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12217.20289855
If we subtract 345 from 350, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12217.20289855 with a balance of 5e-09.
