We divide 871271 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 871271 can be divided by 87.

On to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 87 from 87.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 1 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
1 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 12 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 100.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 127 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 127 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 40.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1001.0
Subtract 87 from 127 to get 40.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 401 / 87

Step 6:
87 goes into 401 4 times with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 10014.0
Subtracting 348 from 401 leaves us with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 530 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10014.6
If we take 522 away from 530, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
87 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10014.6
If we subtract 0 from 80, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 800 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10014.609
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 783 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 170 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 83.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10014.6091
If we subtract 87 from 170, we get 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 830 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 47.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10014.60919
Subtract 783 from 830 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
87 goes into 470 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10014.609195
If we subtract 435 from 470, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
350 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10014.6091954
Subtracting 348 from 350 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 20 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10014.6091954
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 10014.6091954 with a remaining 2e-08.
