Let's divide 978169 by 87
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 978169.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
87 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 87 from 97 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 108 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
87 goes into 108 1 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 87 away from 108, we end up with 21.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 211 / 87

Step 4:
The number 87 fits into 211 2 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we subtract 174 from 211, we get 37.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 376 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 376 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1124.0
Deduct 348 from 376 and we're left with 28.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 289 / 87

On to step 6:
When dividing 289 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11243.0
Subtracting 261 from 289 leaves us with 28.
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 7:
87 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11243.3
If we take 261 away from 280, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 190 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11243.32
Subtracting 174 from 190 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
160 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 73.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11243.321
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 87 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
730 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11243.3218
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 696 from 730.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 340 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 79.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11243.32183
If we take 261 away from 340, we end up with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 790 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11243.321839
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 783 from 790.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
87 goes into 70 0 times with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11243.321839
Subtract 0 from 70 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 700 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11243.32183908
Subtract 696 from 700 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 11243.32183908, and the remainder is 4e-09.
