We divide 981477 by 87
We want to divide 981477 by 87.

Step 1:
87 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
87 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 87 from 98 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 111 / 87

On to step 3:
111 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 87 from 111 leaves us with 24.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 244 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 244 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 70.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we take 174 away from 244, we end up with 70.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 707 / 87

Step 5:
87 can be fit into 707 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1128.0
Subtract 696 from 707 to get 11.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 117 / 87

Step 6:
When dividing 117 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 30.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11281.0
Subtract 87 from 117 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 300 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11281.3
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 261 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 390 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11281.34
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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 420 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11281.344
If we subtract 348 from 420, we get 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 11281.344, and the remainder is 0.0072.
