Let's divide 747228 by 87
We want to divide 747228 by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 87

On to step 2:
87 can be fit into 74 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 74, we end up with 74.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 747 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 747 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 696 from 747.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 512 / 87

On to step 4:
When dividing 512 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 77.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85.0
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 435 from 512.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 77, then repeat: 772 / 87

Step 5:
772 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 76.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 858.0
If we subtract 696 from 772, we get 76.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 76 and continue with: 768 / 87

On to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 768 8 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8588.0
If we take 696 away from 768, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 720 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8588.8
Subtract 696 from 720 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
87 can be fit into 240 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8588.82
Subtract 174 from 240 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
87 goes into 660 7 times with a remainder of 51.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8588.827
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 609 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
87 goes into 510 5 times with a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8588.8275
If we subtract 435 from 510, we 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.

On to step 11:
87 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8588.82758
If we take 696 away from 750, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 540 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8588.827586
Subtracting 522 from 540 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 180 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8588.8275862
Deduct 174 from 180 and we're left 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.

Step 14:
The number 87 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8588.8275862
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 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 quotient of the division is 8588.8275862, and the remainder is 6e-08.
