Let's divide 16980754 by 987
We're looking to find how many times 987 goes into 16980754.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 987, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 987

On to step 2:
16 divided by 987 is 0 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 169 / 987

On to step 3:
The number 987 fits into 169 0 times, leaving a remainder of 169.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 169 to get 169.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 169, then repeat: 1698 / 987

On to step 4:
1698 divided by 987 is 1 with a remainder of 711.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 987 from 1698 leaves us with 711.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 711, then carry on: 7110 / 987

On to step 5:
987 can be fit into 7110 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 201.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 6909 away from 7110, we end up with 201.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 201, then carry on: 2017 / 987

Moving on to step 6:
987 can be fit into 2017 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 172.0
Subtracting 1974 from 2017 leaves us with 43.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 435 / 987

Advancing to step 7:
987 goes into 435 0 times with a remainder of 435.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1720.0
Deduct 0 from 435 and we're left with 435.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 435, then carry on: 4354 / 987

Step 8:
The number 987 fits into 4354 4 times, leaving a remainder of 406.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17204.0
Deduct 3948 from 4354 and we're left with 406.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4060, and continue the process.

Step 9:
987 goes into 4060 4 times with a remainder of 112.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17204.4
Subtracting 3948 from 4060 leaves us with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
987 goes into 1120 1 times with a remainder of 133.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17204.41
Subtracting 987 from 1120 leaves us with 133.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 1330 by 987, we get 1 with a remainder of 343.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17204.411
Deduct 987 from 1330 and we're left with 343.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3430, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17204.411 with a balance of 0.0343.
