We look at the division of 168987 by 68 
Let's see how many times 68 fits into 168987.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 68, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 68

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 16 by 68, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 168 / 68

Step 3:
If we divide 168 by 68, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 136 away from 168, we end up with 32.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 329 / 68

On to step 4:
When dividing 329 by 68, we get 4 with a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 272 from 329, we get 57.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 578 / 68

On to step 5:
68 goes into 578 8 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 248.0
Subtract 544 from 578 to get 34.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 347 / 68

Going ahead to step 6:
347 divided by 68 is 5 with a remainder of 7.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2485.0
Deduct 340 from 347 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 68 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2485.1
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 68 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 68, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2485.1
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 68 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2485.102
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 136 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
68 goes into 640 9 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2485.1029
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 612 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 11:
68 can be fit into 280 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2485.10294
Deduct 272 from 280 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 68 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2485.102941
If we subtract 68 from 80, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 120 by 68, we get 1 and a remainder of 52.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2485.1029411
Deduct 68 from 120 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2485.1029411 with a balance of 5.2e-07.
