978709 ÷ 87 
We want to divide 978709 by 87.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
97 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 87 from 97, we get 10.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 108 / 87

Step 3:
If we divide 108 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 87 from 108.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 217 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 217 2 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we subtract 174 from 217, we get 43.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 430 / 87

Step 5:
430 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 82.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1124.0
The remainder is 82 after subtracting 348 from 430.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 82, then carry on: 829 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 829 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11249.0
If we take 783 away from 829, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
460 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11249.5
Subtract 435 from 460 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 87 fits into 250 2 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11249.52
Subtracting 174 from 250 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 760 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11249.528
Deduct 696 from 760 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 640 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11249.5287
Subtract 609 from 640 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 310 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11249.52873
Deduct 261 from 310 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
87 can be fit into 490 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11249.528735
Subtract 435 from 490 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 550 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11249.5287356
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 522 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
87 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11249.52873563
Deduct 261 from 280 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 11249.52873563, with a leftover of 1.9e-08.
