We divide 974257 by 87
Our goal is to divide 974257 by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
9 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
87 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 87 from 97, we get 10.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 104 / 87

On to step 3:
104 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 87 away from 104, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 172 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
172 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 85.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 111.0
Subtracting 87 from 172 leaves us with 85.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 85, then carry on: 855 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 855 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 72.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1119.0
If we take 783 away from 855, we end up with 72.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 727 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
727 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 31.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11198.0
Subtract 696 from 727 to 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 310 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11198.3
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 261 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
87 can be fit into 490 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11198.35
If we subtract 435 from 490, we get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
87 goes into 550 6 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11198.356
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 522 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11198.3563
If we take 261 away from 280, we end up 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 11:
190 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11198.35632
Subtract 174 from 190 to 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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 160 1 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11198.356321
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.

Moving on to step 13:
730 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11198.3563218
If we subtract 696 from 730, we get 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 14:
The number 87 fits into 340 3 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11198.35632183
If we take 261 away from 340, we end up with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 11198.35632183, and the remainder is 7.9e-08.
