Let's divide 987043 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 987043 can be divided by 87.

Going ahead to step 1:
87 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 87

On to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 98 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 87 away from 98, we end up with 11.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 117 / 87

On to step 3:
87 can be fit into 117 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 87 away from 117, we end up with 30.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 300 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
87 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 113.0
If we take 261 away from 300, we end up with 39.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 394 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 394 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1134.0
If we subtract 348 from 394, we get 46.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 463 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 463 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11345.0
If we take 435 away from 463, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11345.3
Deduct 261 from 280 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
87 can be fit into 190 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11345.32
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 9:
When dividing 160 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 73.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11345.321
If we take 87 away from 160, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 730 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11345.3218
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.

On to step 11:
340 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 79.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11345.32183
Subtracting 261 from 340 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 790 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11345.321839
If we subtract 783 from 790, we 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 70 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 70.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11345.321839
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up 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.

Step 14:
If we divide 700 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11345.32183908
If we subtract 696 from 700, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 11345.32183908 with a balance of 4e-09.
