Let's divide 847233 by 87
Our goal is to divide 847233 by 87.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
87 goes into 84 0 times with a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 84 leaves us with 84.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 84, then carry on: 847 / 87

On to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 847 9 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 783 from 847 leaves us with 64.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 642 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 642 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 33.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 97.0
Deduct 609 from 642 and we're left with 33.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 333 / 87

On to step 5:
333 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 973.0
Subtracting 261 from 333 leaves us with 72.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 723 / 87

Step 6:
723 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9738.0
Deduct 696 from 723 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
270 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9738.3
If we take 261 away from 270, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 8:
87 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9738.31
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 87 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 87 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9738.31
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 300 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9738.3103
Subtract 261 from 300 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
87 can be fit into 390 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 9738.31034
If we take 348 away from 390, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 420 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 72.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9738.310344
Deduct 348 from 420 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 9738.310344 and a remainder of 7.2e-06.
