Let's divide 724995 by 87
Our goal is to divide 724995 by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
87 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 724 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 724 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 696 from 724, we get 28.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 289 / 87

Step 4:
87 goes into 289 3 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 83.0
Subtracting 261 from 289 leaves us with 28.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 289 / 87

On to step 5:
289 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 833.0
If we subtract 261 from 289, we get 28.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 285 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
87 goes into 285 3 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8333.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 261 from 285.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 240 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8333.2
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 174 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
87 goes into 660 7 times with a remainder of 51.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8333.27
If we take 609 away from 660, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
510 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8333.275
If we subtract 435 from 510, we get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 750 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 54.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8333.2758
If we subtract 696 from 750, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 87 fits into 540 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8333.27586
If we take 522 away from 540, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 180 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8333.275862
If we subtract 174 from 180, we get 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 13:
When dividing 60 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8333.275862
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 600 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 78.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8333.27586206
Deduct 522 from 600 and we're left with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8333.27586206, with a leftover of 7.8e-08.
