We look at the division of 19957981 by 987 
Let's see how many times 987 fits into 19957981.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 987 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 987

Advancing to step 2:
The number 987 fits into 19 0 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 19 leaves us with 19.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 199 / 987

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 199 by 987, we get 0 with a remainder of 199.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 199 and we're left with 199.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 199, then carry on: 1995 / 987

Step 4:
The number 987 fits into 1995 2 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 1974 from 1995, we get 21.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 217 / 987

Moving on to step 5:
The number 987 fits into 217 0 times, leaving a remainder of 217.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 217 after subtracting 0 from 217.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 217 and continue: 2179 / 987

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 2179 by 987, we get 2 and a remainder of 205.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 202.0
Deduct 1974 from 2179 and we're left with 205.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 205, then repeat: 2058 / 987

Step 7:
987 goes into 2058 2 times with a remainder of 84.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2022.0
If we take 1974 away from 2058, we end up with 84.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 84 and continue with: 841 / 987

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 841 by 987, we get 0 with a remainder of 841.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20220.0
Deduct 0 from 841 and we're left with 841.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 987 fits into 8410 8 times, leaving a remainder of 514.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 20220.8
Deduct 7896 from 8410 and we're left with 514.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 987 fits into 5140 5 times, leaving a remainder of 205.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20220.85
Subtracting 4935 from 5140 leaves us with 205.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2050, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
987 goes into 2050 2 times with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 20220.852
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 1974 from 2050.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
987 goes into 760 0 times with a remainder of 760.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20220.852
Deduct 0 from 760 and we're left with 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
987 can be fit into 7600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 691.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 20220.85207
If we take 6909 away from 7600, we end up with 691.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6910, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
987 goes into 6910 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20220.852077
Subtract 6909 from 6910 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 20220.852077, and the remainder is 1e-07.
