Let's divide 601015 by 87
Our goal is to divide 601015 by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
87 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 60 / 87

Moving on 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
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 60 and continue with: 601 / 87

Step 3:
601 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 79.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 522 from 601 and we're left with 79.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 79 and continue: 790 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 790 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 69.0
Deduct 783 from 790 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 87

Step 5:
71 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 71.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 690.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 0 from 71.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 715 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 715 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6908.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 696 from 715.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
190 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6908.2
If we take 174 away from 190, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
87 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 73.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6908.21
Deduct 87 from 160 and we're left with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Step 9:
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: 6908.218
Deduct 696 from 730 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 340 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 79.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6908.2183
Subtract 261 from 340 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 790 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6908.21839
Subtract 783 from 790 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6908.21839
Deduct 0 from 70 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 700 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6908.2183908
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 696 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 40 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6908.2183908
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6908.2183908 with a remaining 4e-08.
