Let's divide 120474 by 87
Our goal is to divide 120474 by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
87 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
87 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 120 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 87 from 120, we get 33.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 334 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 334 3 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 261 from 334.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 73, then repeat: 737 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 737 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 138.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 696 from 737.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 414 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
87 can be fit into 414 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1384.0
Subtracting 348 from 414 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 660 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1384.7
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.

On to step 8:
87 goes into 510 5 times with a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1384.75
Subtracting 435 from 510 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
750 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 54.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1384.758
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 696 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
87 goes into 540 6 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1384.7586
Subtracting 522 from 540 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
87 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1384.75862
Subtract 174 from 180 to 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.

Step 12:
When dividing 60 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1384.75862
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us 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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 600 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1384.7586206
Subtracting 522 from 600 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 780 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 84.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1384.75862068
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 696 from 780.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1384.75862068 with a balance of 8.4e-08.
