Let's divide 981248 by 87
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 981248.

On to step 1:
87 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 87

On to step 2:
87 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 87 away from 98, we end up with 11.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 111 / 87

Step 3:
If we divide 111 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 87 away from 111, we end up with 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 87

Step 4:
87 can be fit into 242 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we take 174 away from 242, we end up with 68.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 68, then carry on: 684 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
684 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 75.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1127.0
Subtracting 609 from 684 leaves us with 75.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 75 and repeat the process: 758 / 87

On to step 6:
87 can be fit into 758 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11278.0
Deduct 696 from 758 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 620 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11278.7
If we take 609 away from 620, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
87 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 23.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11278.71
Subtracting 87 from 110 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 230 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11278.712
Deduct 174 from 230 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 560 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 38.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11278.7126
If we take 522 away from 560, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
87 can be fit into 380 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11278.71264
Deduct 348 from 380 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
320 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 59.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11278.712643
If we subtract 261 from 320, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
590 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 68.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11278.7126436
If we subtract 522 from 590, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 87 fits into 680 7 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11278.71264367
Subtracting 609 from 680 leaves us with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

The final result is 11278.71264367 with a remainder of 7.1e-08.
