We divide 69971 by 87
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 69971.

On to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 69 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 69 and we're left with 69.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 69 and repeat the process: 699 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
87 goes into 699 8 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 696 from 699.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 37 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 37.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 80.0
Deduct 0 from 37 and we're left with 37.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 371 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 371 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 804.0
If we take 348 away from 371, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 6:
When dividing 230 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 804.2
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 174 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
560 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 804.26
If we subtract 522 from 560, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
87 can be fit into 380 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 804.264
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 348 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 320 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 59.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 804.2643
Deduct 261 from 320 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 590 6 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 804.26436
Subtract 522 from 590 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 680 7 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 804.264367
If we subtract 609 from 680, we get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 710 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 804.2643678
If we take 696 away from 710, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 140 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 53.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 804.26436781
If we subtract 87 from 140, we get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 804.26436781, with a leftover of 5.3e-08.
