We divide 62997 by 87
Our goal is to divide 62997 by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
87 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 62 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
87 goes into 62 0 times with a remainder of 62.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 0 from 62.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 629 / 87

On to step 3:
87 can be fit into 629 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 609 from 629 and we're left with 20.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 209 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 209 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 35.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72.0
Subtracting 174 from 209 leaves us with 35.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 357 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 357 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 9.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 724.0
Subtracting 348 from 357 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
87 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 724.1
If we subtract 87 from 90, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
30 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 724.1
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up 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 8:
The number 87 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 724.103
Subtracting 261 from 300 leaves us with 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 9:
The number 87 fits into 390 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 724.1034
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
87 can be fit into 420 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 724.10344
If we subtract 348 from 420, we get 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 outcome is 724.10344, with a leftover of 7.2e-05.
