We divide 978796 by 87
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 978796.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 87 away from 97, we end up with 10.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 108 / 87

On to step 3:
108 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 87 from 108.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 217 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 217 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we subtract 174 from 217, we get 43.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 439 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
87 can be fit into 439 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1125.0
If we subtract 435 from 439, we get 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 87

On to step 6:
87 can be fit into 46 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11250.0
Deduct 0 from 46 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
460 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11250.5
If we take 435 away from 460, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 250 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 76.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11250.52
If we subtract 174 from 250, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
87 goes into 760 8 times with a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11250.528
If we take 696 away from 760, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 640 7 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11250.5287
Subtracting 609 from 640 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 310 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 49.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11250.52873
Subtracting 261 from 310 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 490 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11250.528735
Deduct 435 from 490 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
87 goes into 550 6 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11250.5287356
Deduct 522 from 550 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 280 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11250.52873563
If we take 261 away from 280, we end up 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.

The final result is 11250.52873563 with a remainder of 1.9e-08.
