721471 ÷ 87 
We want to divide 721471 by 87.

On to step 1:
87 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 72, we end up with 72.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 721 / 87

On to step 3:
When dividing 721 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 696 from 721 and we're left with 25.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 254 / 87

On to step 4:
254 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 82.0
Subtract 174 from 254 to get 80.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 80, then carry on: 807 / 87

On to step 5:
When dividing 807 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 24.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 829.0
If we subtract 783 from 807, we get 24.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 241 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
87 can be fit into 241 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8292.0
Deduct 174 from 241 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 670 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 61.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8292.7
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 609 from 670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 610 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8292.77
If we take 609 away from 610, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8292.77 with a balance of 0.001.
