74242 divided by 87 
We want to divide 74242 by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 87

On to step 2:
74 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 74 to get 74.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 742 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
742 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 46.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 696 from 742, we get 46.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 464 / 87

On to step 4:
When dividing 464 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 85.0
If we take 435 away from 464, we end up with 29.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 292 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
87 can be fit into 292 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 853.0
If we subtract 261 from 292, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
310 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 49.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 853.3
If we subtract 261 from 310, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
87 can be fit into 490 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 853.35
Deduct 435 from 490 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
87 can be fit into 550 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 853.356
If we take 522 away from 550, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
280 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 853.3563
Subtracting 261 from 280 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
87 goes into 190 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 853.35632
If we subtract 174 from 190, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 73.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 853.356321
If we subtract 87 from 160, we get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
87 can be fit into 730 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 853.3563218
Subtracting 696 from 730 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 13:
340 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 79.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 853.35632183
If we subtract 261 from 340, we get 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 853.35632183 and a remainder of 7.9e-08.
