Let's divide 12078 by 87
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 12078.

Let's proceed to step 1:
87 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
12 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 120 / 87

On to step 3:
87 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 87 from 120.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 337 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
87 can be fit into 337 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 261 from 337.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 76 and continue with: 768 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
87 can be fit into 768 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 138.0
Subtracting 696 from 768 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 720 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 138.8
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 696 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 240 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 138.82
If we subtract 174 from 240, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
660 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 51.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 138.827
Subtract 609 from 660 to get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 510 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 138.8275
Subtract 435 from 510 to get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 750 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 54.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 138.82758
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 696 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
540 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 138.827586
If we take 522 away from 540, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
87 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 138.8275862
Subtracting 174 from 180 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 138.8275862
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 138.8275862, with a leftover of 6e-08.
