Let's divide 979048 by 87
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 979048.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 87

On to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 87 from 97 and we're left with 10.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 109 / 87

On to step 3:
When dividing 109 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 87 from 109.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 220 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
87 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 112.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 174 from 220.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 464 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 464 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 29.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1125.0
Deduct 435 from 464 and we're left with 29.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 298 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 298 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 37.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11253.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 261 from 298.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 7:
87 goes into 370 4 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11253.4
Subtracting 348 from 370 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11253.42
Deduct 174 from 220 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 460 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11253.425
Subtract 435 from 460 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
87 can be fit into 250 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11253.4252
Subtracting 174 from 250 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
87 goes into 760 8 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11253.42528
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 696 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
640 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11253.425287
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 609 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 310 3 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11253.4252873
If we take 261 away from 310, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
490 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11253.42528735
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 435 from 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11253.42528735 with a remaining 5.5e-08.
