Let's divide 987381 by 10
We want to figure out the number of times 987381 can be divided by 10.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 10, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 10

Advancing to step 2:
The number 10 fits into 98 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 90 from 98, we get 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 10

Let's proceed to step 3:
10 goes into 87 8 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 98.0
Subtracting 80 from 87 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 73 / 10

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 10 fits into 73 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 987.0
Subtracting 70 from 73 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 10

Step 5:
The number 10 fits into 38 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9873.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 30 from 38.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 81 / 10

Step 6:
If we divide 81 by 10, we get 8 and a remainder of 1.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 98738.0
Subtracting 80 from 81 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 10 by 10, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 98738.1
If we take 10 away from 10, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 10, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 98738.1
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
10 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 98738.1
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 98738.1, and the remainder is 0.0.
