74692461 divided by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 74692461 can be divided by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
87 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 74 0 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 74 to get 74.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 74, then carry on: 746 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
87 goes into 746 8 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 696 from 746.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 509 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 509 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 74.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 435 from 509.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 742 / 87

Step 5:
742 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 46.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 858.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 696 from 742.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 464 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 464 5 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8585.0
If we take 435 away from 464, we end up with 29.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 296 / 87

On to step 7:
296 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85853.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 261 from 296.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 351 / 87

Let's proceed to step 8:
351 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 858534.0
Subtract 348 from 351 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
87 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 858534.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us 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:
When dividing 300 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 39.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 858534.03
Subtracting 261 from 300 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 390 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 858534.034
Subtract 348 from 390 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 420 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 72.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 858534.0344
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.

The quotient of the division is 858534.0344, and the remainder is 0.00072.
