123876 ÷ 87 
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 123876.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 12 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 123 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 123 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 87 from 123 leaves us with 36.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 368 / 87

On to step 4:
368 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 348 from 368 to get 20.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 207 / 87

Step 5:
87 goes into 207 2 times with a remainder of 33.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142.0
Subtracting 174 from 207 leaves us with 33.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 336 / 87

Step 6:
87 can be fit into 336 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1423.0
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 261 from 336.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 750 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 54.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1423.8
Subtract 696 from 750 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 540 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1423.86
If we take 522 away from 540, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
87 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1423.862
Deduct 174 from 180 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 60 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1423.862
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
600 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 78.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1423.86206
If we subtract 522 from 600, we get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
87 can be fit into 780 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1423.862068
Deduct 696 from 780 and we're left with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
87 can be fit into 840 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1423.8620689
If we subtract 783 from 840, we get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 87 fits into 570 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1423.86206896
Subtract 522 from 570 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.

After the division, we end up with 1423.86206896 and a remainder of 4.8e-08.
