Let's divide 101551 by 87
We want to divide 101551 by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 10 / 87

Step 2:
If we divide 10 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 101 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 101 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 87 from 101 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 145 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
87 goes into 145 1 times with a remainder of 58.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 87 from 145, we get 58.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 585 / 87

On to step 5:
87 can be fit into 585 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 116.0
If we subtract 522 from 585, we get 63.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 631 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
87 goes into 631 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1167.0
Subtracting 609 from 631 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 220 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1167.2
Subtract 174 from 220 to get 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 8:
When dividing 460 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1167.25
Subtracting 435 from 460 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 250 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 76.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1167.252
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 760 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1167.2528
Deduct 696 from 760 and we're left with 64.
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 11:
If we divide 640 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1167.25287
If we subtract 609 from 640, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 87 fits into 310 3 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1167.252873
Subtract 261 from 310 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
87 goes into 490 5 times with a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1167.2528735
Subtracting 435 from 490 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
87 goes into 550 6 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1167.25287356
If we subtract 522 from 550, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1167.25287356 with a balance of 2.8e-08.
