We're dividing 975742 by 87 
We want to divide 975742 by 87.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
87 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 87 from 97.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 105 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
87 can be fit into 105 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 87 from 105 and we're left with 18.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 187 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
87 goes into 187 2 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 112.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 174 from 187.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 134 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
87 can be fit into 134 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1121.0
Subtract 87 from 134 to get 47.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 472 / 87

On to step 6:
472 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11215.0
If we take 435 away from 472, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 370 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11215.4
If we take 348 away from 370, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11215.42
Subtracting 174 from 220 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
87 goes into 460 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11215.425
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 435 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 87 fits into 250 2 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11215.4252
Deduct 174 from 250 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
87 goes into 760 8 times with a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11215.42528
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 696 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
640 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11215.425287
Subtracting 609 from 640 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 310 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11215.4252873
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 261 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 490 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11215.42528735
Subtract 435 from 490 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11215.42528735 with a remaining 5.5e-08.
