We divide 974243 by 87
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 974243.

Step 1:
9 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 87 from 97 and we're left with 10.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 104 / 87

On to step 3:
When dividing 104 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 87 from 104 leaves us with 17.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 172 / 87

Step 4:
87 goes into 172 1 times with a remainder of 85.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 111.0
If we take 87 away from 172, we end up with 85.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 85, then repeat: 854 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
854 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 71.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1119.0
Subtract 783 from 854 to get 71.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 713 / 87

Step 6:
87 can be fit into 713 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11198.0
Deduct 696 from 713 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
170 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 83.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11198.1
Deduct 87 from 170 and we're left with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 830 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 47.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11198.19
If we take 783 away from 830, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
87 goes into 470 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11198.195
If we subtract 435 from 470, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 10:
87 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11198.1954
Subtracting 348 from 350 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 20 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11198.1954
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11198.195402
If we take 174 away from 200, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
87 can be fit into 260 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11198.1954022
If we subtract 174 from 260, we get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

The final result is 11198.1954022 with a remainder of 8.6e-07.
