We look at the division of 9987 by 85 
We want to divide 9987 by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 85 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
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
99 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 85 from 99 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 148 / 85

Step 3:
The number 85 fits into 148 1 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 85 from 148 leaves us with 63.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 637 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 637 7 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 117.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 595 from 637.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 5:
420 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 80.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 117.4
If we take 340 away from 420, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
85 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 117.49
Subtracting 765 from 800 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 350 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 117.494
If we subtract 340 from 350, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 100 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 117.4941
Subtract 85 from 100 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
85 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 65.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 117.49411
Subtracting 85 from 150 leaves us with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Our division results in 117.49411 with a remaining 6.5e-05.
