Let's divide 115971 by 87
We want to divide 115971 by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
87 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 11 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 11.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 11, we get 11.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 115 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 115 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 87 from 115, we get 28.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 289 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 289 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 261 from 289, we get 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 87

Step 5:
287 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 133.0
Subtracting 261 from 287 leaves us with 26.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 261 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 261 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1333.0
Subtracting 261 from 261 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 7:
87 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1333.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
87 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1333.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1333.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
