72882 ÷ 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 72882 can be divided by 87.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 0 from 72.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 728 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 728 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 696 from 728 leaves us with 32.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 328 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
87 can be fit into 328 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 83.0
If we take 261 away from 328, we end up with 67.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 67 and repeat the process: 672 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 672 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 63.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 837.0
Deduct 609 from 672 and we're left with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 630 7 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 837.7
Subtract 609 from 630 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
87 can be fit into 210 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 837.72
Deduct 174 from 210 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
360 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 837.724
Subtract 348 from 360 to 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.

Moving on to step 9:
87 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 837.7241
If we take 87 away from 120, we end up 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.

Step 10:
87 goes into 330 3 times with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 837.72413
If we take 261 away from 330, we end up with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 690 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 81.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 837.724137
If we subtract 609 from 690, we get 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
87 goes into 810 9 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 837.7241379
If we subtract 783 from 810, we 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.

Advancing to step 13:
87 goes into 270 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 837.72413793
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 261 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 837.72413793 with a balance of 9e-09.
