We're dividing 131256 by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 131256 can be divided by 87.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 13 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
13 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 13 and we're left with 13.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 131 / 87

On to step 3:
87 can be fit into 131 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 87 from 131 to get 44.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 44, then repeat: 442 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
442 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 7.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 435 from 442 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 75 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 75 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 75.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 150.0
Subtracting 0 from 75 leaves us with 75.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 75, then repeat: 756 / 87

Step 6:
756 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 60.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1508.0
Subtract 696 from 756 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
87 goes into 600 6 times with a remainder of 78.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1508.6
If we take 522 away from 600, we end up with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
87 can be fit into 780 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1508.68
If we subtract 696 from 780, we get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
87 can be fit into 840 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1508.689
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 783 from 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
87 can be fit into 570 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1508.6896
Subtracting 522 from 570 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
480 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1508.68965
Deduct 435 from 480 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
87 can be fit into 450 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1508.689655
If we subtract 435 from 450, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final result is 1508.689655 with a remainder of 1.5e-06.
