842984 ÷ 87 
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 842984.

Let's proceed to step 1:
8 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 84 / 87

On to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 84 0 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 84 and we're left with 84.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 84 and repeat the process: 842 / 87

Step 3:
If we divide 842 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 59.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 783 from 842 to get 59.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 599 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 599 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 77.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 96.0
If we take 522 away from 599, we end up with 77.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 77, then repeat: 778 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
87 goes into 778 8 times with a remainder of 82.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 968.0
If we take 696 away from 778, we end up with 82.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 82, then carry on: 824 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
87 can be fit into 824 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9689.0
Subtract 783 from 824 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
410 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9689.4
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 348 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 620 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9689.47
Deduct 609 from 620 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
87 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 9689.471
If we subtract 87 from 110, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 230 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9689.4712
Subtract 174 from 230 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 560 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 38.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9689.47126
If we take 522 away from 560, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
380 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9689.471264
If we subtract 348 from 380, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9689.4712643
Subtracting 261 from 320 leaves us with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
590 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 68.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9689.47126436
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 522 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 9689.47126436, and the remainder is 6.8e-08.
