Let's divide 901897 by 87
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 901897.

On to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 90 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
90 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 87 from 90 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 87

Step 3:
87 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 318 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 318 3 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 103.0
Deduct 261 from 318 and we're left with 57.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 579 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 579 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1036.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 522 from 579.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 57, then carry on: 577 / 87

On to step 6:
87 goes into 577 6 times with a remainder of 55.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10366.0
If we take 522 away from 577, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 550 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10366.6
If we subtract 522 from 550, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 8:
87 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10366.63
Subtract 261 from 280 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
87 can be fit into 190 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10366.632
If we subtract 174 from 190, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
87 can be fit into 160 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10366.6321
If we subtract 87 from 160, we get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 730 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10366.63218
Subtracting 696 from 730 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
340 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 79.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10366.632183
Subtract 261 from 340 to get 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
790 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10366.6321839
Deduct 783 from 790 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 87 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10366.6321839
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

The final result is 10366.6321839 with a remainder of 7e-08.
