We divide 1487 by 86
We're looking to find how many times 86 goes into 1487.

Going ahead to step 1:
86 goes into 1 0 times with 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.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 86

Advancing to step 2:
86 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 148 / 86

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 148 by 86, we get 1 and a remainder of 62.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 86 from 148 to get 62.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 627 / 86

Step 4:
The number 86 fits into 627 7 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 602 away from 627, we end up 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 5:
When dividing 250 by 86, we get 2 with a remainder of 78.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.2
Subtract 172 from 250 to get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
86 can be fit into 780 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.29
Subtracting 774 from 780 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
60 divided by 86 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.29
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
86 can be fit into 600 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.2906
If we take 516 away from 600, we end up with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Step 9:
86 goes into 840 9 times with a remainder of 66.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.29069
If we take 774 away from 840, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 660 by 86, we get 7 and a remainder of 58.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.290697
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 602 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 86 fits into 580 6 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.2906976
Subtracting 516 from 580 leaves us 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 12:
When dividing 640 by 86, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.29069767
Subtract 602 from 640 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17.29069767, with a leftover of 3.8e-08.
