We're dividing 78256 by 87 
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 78256.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 87

On to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 78 0 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 78, we end up with 78.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 78 and continue: 782 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 782 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 86.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 696 from 782.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 86 and continue: 865 / 87

Step 4:
When dividing 865 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 82.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 89.0
The remainder is 82 after subtracting 783 from 865.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 82, then repeat: 826 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
826 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 43.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 899.0
Subtract 783 from 826 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 430 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 82.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 899.4
If we take 348 away from 430, we end up with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 820 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 899.49
Subtract 783 from 820 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 370 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 899.494
Subtracting 348 from 370 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
220 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 899.4942
If we take 174 away from 220, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
87 goes into 460 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 899.49425
Subtract 435 from 460 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
250 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 76.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 899.494252
If we take 174 away from 250, we end up with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 760 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 899.4942528
If we subtract 696 from 760, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
87 goes into 640 7 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 899.49425287
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 609 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Our division results in 899.49425287 with a remaining 3.1e-08.
