We look at the division of 878842 by 96 
We want to divide 878842 by 96.

Going ahead to step 1:
96 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 96

Let's proceed to step 2:
87 divided by 96 is 0 with a remainder of 87.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 87 to get 87.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 87, then repeat: 878 / 96

On to step 3:
The number 96 fits into 878 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 864 from 878 to get 14.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 148 / 96

Going ahead to step 4:
148 divided by 96 is 1 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 91.0
Subtracting 96 from 148 leaves us with 52.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 524 / 96

Step 5:
96 can be fit into 524 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 915.0
Deduct 480 from 524 and we're left with 44.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 442 / 96

On to step 6:
96 can be fit into 442 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9154.0
If we subtract 384 from 442, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 96 fits into 580 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9154.6
Deduct 576 from 580 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 96, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9154.6
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
96 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9154.604
If we subtract 384 from 400, 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 96, we get 1 and a remainder of 64.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9154.6041
Deduct 96 from 160 and we're left 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 11:
The number 96 fits into 640 6 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9154.60416
If we take 576 away from 640, 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.

Advancing to step 12:
96 goes into 640 6 times with a remainder of 64.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9154.604166
If we subtract 576 from 640, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The final result is 9154.604166 with a remainder of 6.4e-06.
