We divide 137987 by 554
Let's see how many times 554 fits into 137987.

Step 1:
554 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 13 / 554

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 13 by 554, we get 0 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 13, we end up with 13.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 137 / 554

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 137 by 554, we get 0 with a remainder of 137.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 137 to get 137.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 137 and continue with: 1379 / 554

Step 4:
1379 divided by 554 is 2 with a remainder of 271.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 1108 from 1379 to get 271.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 271, then carry on: 2718 / 554

Let's proceed to step 5:
554 goes into 2718 4 times with a remainder of 502.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 2216 from 2718 to get 502.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 502 and continue: 5027 / 554

On to step 6:
When dividing 5027 by 554, we get 9 with a remainder of 41.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 249.0
Subtract 4986 from 5027 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 410 by 554, we get 0 and a remainder of 410.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 249.0
Subtracting 0 from 410 leaves us with 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
554 goes into 4100 7 times with a remainder of 222.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 249.07
The remainder is 222 after subtracting 3878 from 4100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2220, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 2220 by 554, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 249.074
If we take 2216 away from 2220, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
554 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 249.074
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
554 can be fit into 400 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 400.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 249.074
Deduct 0 from 400 and we're left with 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4000, and continue the process.

Our division results in 249.074 with a remaining 0.0004.
