We look at the division of 717873 by 87 
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 717873.

Moving on to step 1:
7 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 71 0 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 71 and we're left with 71.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 71, then repeat: 717 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
87 goes into 717 8 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 696 from 717, we get 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 218 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 82.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 174 from 218.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 447 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
87 goes into 447 5 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 825.0
If we subtract 435 from 447, we get 12.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 123 / 87

Step 6:
87 goes into 123 1 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8251.0
If we subtract 87 from 123, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
87 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8251.4
If we subtract 348 from 360, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 8:
87 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8251.41
Subtracting 87 from 120 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 330 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 69.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8251.413
If we subtract 261 from 330, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 690 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 81.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8251.4137
Deduct 609 from 690 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
87 can be fit into 810 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8251.41379
Subtract 783 from 810 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
270 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8251.413793
If we subtract 261 from 270, we get 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 13:
If we divide 90 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8251.4137931
Subtracting 87 from 90 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
30 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8251.4137931
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8251.4137931 with a balance of 3e-08.
