We divide 187871 by 60
We want to figure out the number of times 187871 can be divided by 60.

On to step 1:
The number 60 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 60

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 18 by 60, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 187 / 60

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 187 by 60, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 180 from 187 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 60

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 78 by 60, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 60 from 78.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 187 / 60

Step 5:
60 goes into 187 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 313.0
Deduct 180 from 187 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 60

On to step 6:
If we divide 71 by 60, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3131.0
If we subtract 60 from 71, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
60 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3131.1
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 60 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
60 goes into 500 8 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3131.18
Deduct 480 from 500 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 60 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3131.183
If we subtract 180 from 200, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 10:
60 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3131.1833
Subtract 180 from 200 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3131.1833, and the remainder is 0.0002.
