We're dividing 873973 by 99 
We want to figure out the number of times 873973 can be divided by 99.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 99 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 99

Let's proceed to step 2:
99 goes into 87 0 times with a remainder of 87.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 87, we get 87.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 87 and repeat the process: 873 / 99

Let's proceed to step 3:
99 goes into 873 8 times with a remainder of 81.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 792 from 873, we get 81.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 81 and continue with: 819 / 99

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 819 by 99, we get 8 with a remainder of 27.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 88.0
Deduct 792 from 819 and we're left with 27.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 277 / 99

Advancing to step 5:
The number 99 fits into 277 2 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 882.0
Subtract 198 from 277 to get 79.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 79, then repeat: 793 / 99

On to step 6:
99 can be fit into 793 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8828.0
Deduct 792 from 793 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 10 by 99, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8828.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
99 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8828.01
If we take 99 away from 100, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 10 by 99, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8828.01
Subtract 0 from 10 to 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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 99 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8828.0101
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 99 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 99 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8828.0101
Subtract 0 from 10 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
99 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8828.010101
Deduct 99 from 100 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 10 by 99, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8828.010101
Subtract 0 from 10 to 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.

On to step 14:
100 divided by 99 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8828.01010101
If we take 99 away from 100, we end up with 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 8828.01010101, and the remainder is 1e-09.
