120479 divided by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 120479 can be divided by 87.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
87 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 120 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 87 from 120 to get 33.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 334 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 334 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 261 from 334.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 737 / 87

Step 5:
87 can be fit into 737 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 138.0
Subtract 696 from 737 to get 41.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 419 / 87

Step 6:
The number 87 fits into 419 4 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1384.0
Deduct 348 from 419 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
87 can be fit into 710 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1384.8
If we subtract 696 from 710, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
87 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 53.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1384.81
Subtract 87 from 140 to get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
87 goes into 530 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1384.816
Deduct 522 from 530 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
80 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1384.816
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 800 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1384.81609
Subtract 783 from 800 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
87 can be fit into 170 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 83.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1384.816091
If we subtract 87 from 170, we get 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Step 13:
830 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1384.8160919
Deduct 783 from 830 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.

Moving on to step 14:
470 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1384.81609195
Subtracting 435 from 470 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 1384.81609195, and the remainder is 3.5e-08.
