742206 divided by 87 
Our goal is to divide 742206 by 87.

On to step 1:
87 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 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
If we subtract 0 from 74, we get 74.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 742 / 87

Step 3:
When dividing 742 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 696 from 742, we get 46.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 462 / 87

On to step 4:
When dividing 462 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 85.0
Deduct 435 from 462 and we're left with 27.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 270 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
270 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 853.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 261 from 270.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 96 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 96 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8531.0
Subtract 87 from 96 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
90 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8531.1
Subtract 87 from 90 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
30 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8531.1
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.

Moving on to step 9:
300 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 39.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8531.103
Subtract 261 from 300 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 390 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8531.1034
If we take 348 away from 390, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 420 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 72.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8531.10344
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 348 from 420.
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 8531.10344, and the remainder is 7.2e-05.
