We look at the division of 73488936 by 987 
Our goal is to divide 73488936 by 987.

On to step 1:
987 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 73 / 987

Let's proceed to step 2:
987 goes into 73 0 times with a remainder of 73.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 73 leaves us with 73.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 734 / 987

Going ahead to step 3:
987 goes into 734 0 times with a remainder of 734.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 734 to get 734.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 734 and repeat the process: 7348 / 987

Advancing to step 4:
The number 987 fits into 7348 7 times, leaving a remainder of 439.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 6909 from 7348, we get 439.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 439 and continue with: 4398 / 987

Moving on to step 5:
The number 987 fits into 4398 4 times, leaving a remainder of 450.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74.0
Subtracting 3948 from 4398 leaves us with 450.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 450, then repeat: 4509 / 987

Going ahead to step 6:
987 goes into 4509 4 times with a remainder of 561.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 744.0
Subtract 3948 from 4509 to get 561.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 561, then repeat: 5613 / 987

Let's proceed to step 7:
5613 divided by 987 is 5 with a remainder of 678.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7445.0
If we take 4935 away from 5613, we end up with 678.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 678 and continue: 6786 / 987

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 6786 by 987, we get 6 and a remainder of 864.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74456.0
Subtract 5922 from 6786 to get 864.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8640, and continue the process.

Step 9:
987 can be fit into 8640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 744.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74456.8
If we subtract 7896 from 8640, we get 744.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7440, and continue the process.

Step 10:
987 can be fit into 7440 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 531.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 74456.87
The remainder is 531 after subtracting 6909 from 7440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 5310 by 987, we get 5 with a remainder of 375.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74456.875
If we subtract 4935 from 5310, we get 375.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3750, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
987 goes into 3750 3 times with a remainder of 789.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74456.8753
Deduct 2961 from 3750 and we're left with 789.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7890, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
987 can be fit into 7890 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 981.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74456.87537
The remainder is 981 after subtracting 6909 from 7890.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9810, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 987 fits into 9810 9 times, leaving a remainder of 927.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74456.875379
The remainder is 927 after subtracting 8883 from 9810.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
The number 987 fits into 9270 9 times, leaving a remainder of 387.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74456.8753799
Subtracting 8883 from 9270 leaves us with 387.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3870, and continue the process.

The final result is 74456.8753799 with a remainder of 3.87e-06.
