872981 divided by 96 
We want to divide 872981 by 96.

Let's proceed to step 1:
96 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 96

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 96 fits into 87 0 times, leaving a remainder of 87.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 87 after subtracting 0 from 87.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 87, then repeat: 872 / 96

Step 3:
When dividing 872 by 96, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 864 away from 872, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 89 / 96

Going ahead to step 4:
89 divided by 96 is 0 with a remainder of 89.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 90.0
The remainder is 89 after subtracting 0 from 89.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 89, then carry on: 898 / 96

Moving on to step 5:
96 goes into 898 9 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 909.0
If we take 864 away from 898, we end up with 34.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 341 / 96

Step 6:
96 goes into 341 3 times with a remainder of 53.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9093.0
If we subtract 288 from 341, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 96 fits into 530 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9093.5
If we take 480 away from 530, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 500 by 96, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9093.55
Subtracting 480 from 500 leaves us 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.

The final result is 9093.55 with a remainder of 0.02.
