Let's divide 988179 by 87
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 988179.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 87 from 98.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 118 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
87 goes into 118 1 times with a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 87 from 118 and we're left with 31.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 311 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
87 can be fit into 311 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 113.0
If we subtract 261 from 311, we get 50.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 507 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 507 5 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1135.0
If we take 435 away from 507, we end up with 72.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 729 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 729 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 33.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11358.0
If we subtract 696 from 729, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 87 fits into 330 3 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11358.3
Subtracting 261 from 330 leaves us with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
690 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 81.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11358.37
Subtracting 609 from 690 leaves us with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 810 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11358.379
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 783 from 810.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
270 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11358.3793
Subtracting 261 from 270 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
87 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11358.37931
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 87 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
87 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11358.37931
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
87 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11358.3793103
Subtract 261 from 300 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
87 can be fit into 390 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11358.37931034
If we subtract 348 from 390, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 11358.37931034 with a balance of 4.2e-08.
