Let's divide 17518 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 17518 can be divided by 87.

Going ahead to step 1:
87 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
87 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 175 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
175 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 174 from 175 to get 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
11 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 11 to get 11.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 118 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
87 goes into 118 1 times with a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 201.0
If we subtract 87 from 118, 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.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 310 3 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 201.3
Deduct 261 from 310 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 490 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 201.35
Subtract 435 from 490 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
87 can be fit into 550 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 201.356
Subtracting 522 from 550 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 201.3563
Deduct 261 from 280 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
87 can be fit into 190 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 201.35632
Subtract 174 from 190 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 160 1 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 201.356321
If we take 87 away from 160, we end up with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
730 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 201.3563218
Subtract 696 from 730 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 13:
87 can be fit into 340 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 79.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 201.35632183
Subtract 261 from 340 to get 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Our division results in 201.35632183 with a remaining 7.9e-08.
