Let's divide 71500 by 87
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 71500.

Advancing to step 1:
7 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 71 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 71 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 71.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 71 and we're left with 71.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 715 / 87

Step 3:
When dividing 715 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 19.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 696 from 715, we get 19.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 190 / 87

Step 4:
If we divide 190 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 82.0
If we subtract 174 from 190, we get 16.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 160 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 160 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 73.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 821.0
Subtracting 87 from 160 leaves us with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 730 8 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 821.8
If we take 696 away from 730, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
87 goes into 340 3 times with a remainder of 79.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 821.83
The remainder is 79 after subtracting 261 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Step 8:
87 can be fit into 790 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 821.839
Subtracting 783 from 790 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
70 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 821.839
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
700 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 821.83908
Subtract 696 from 700 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
87 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 821.83908
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 400 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 821.8390804
If we take 348 away from 400, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 520 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 85.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 821.83908045
Subtract 435 from 520 to get 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Our division results in 821.83908045 with a remaining 8.5e-08.
