We look at the division of 608907 by 87 
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 608907.

On to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 60 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
87 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 60, then repeat: 608 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
608 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 86.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 522 from 608 leaves us with 86.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 86, then repeat: 869 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
87 goes into 869 9 times with a remainder of 86.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 69.0
If we subtract 783 from 869, we get 86.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 86 and continue: 860 / 87

On to step 5:
87 can be fit into 860 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 699.0
If we subtract 783 from 860, we get 77.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 77 and continue: 777 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 777 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 81.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6998.0
If we subtract 696 from 777, 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 7:
87 goes into 810 9 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6998.9
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 8:
The number 87 fits into 270 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6998.93
If we subtract 261 from 270, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6998.931
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 87 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 30 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6998.931
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
300 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6998.93103
If we subtract 261 from 300, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
87 goes into 390 4 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6998.931034
Subtracting 348 from 390 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 13:
87 can be fit into 420 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6998.9310344
If we take 348 away from 420, 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.

The final result is 6998.9310344 with a remainder of 7.2e-07.
