118542 divided by 87 
We want to divide 118542 by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
87 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 11, we get 11.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 118 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 87 from 118 to get 31.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 315 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
315 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 261 from 315 to get 54.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 544 / 87

On to step 5:
87 can be fit into 544 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 136.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 522 from 544.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 222 / 87

On to step 6:
222 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1362.0
Subtract 174 from 222 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 7:
87 goes into 480 5 times with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1362.5
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 435 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 450 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1362.55
If we take 435 away from 450, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final result is 1362.55 with a remainder of 0.015.
