We divide 129008 by 87
Our goal is to divide 129008 by 87.

Step 1:
1 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 12 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 129 / 87

Step 3:
129 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 87 from 129 leaves us with 42.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 420 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 420 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 348 from 420.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 720 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
720 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 696 from 720.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 248 / 87

Step 6:
The number 87 fits into 248 2 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1482.0
If we subtract 174 from 248, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 740 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1482.8
Subtract 696 from 740 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 440 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1482.85
If we subtract 435 from 440, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
87 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1482.85
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 10:
87 can be fit into 500 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1482.8505
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 435 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
87 can be fit into 650 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1482.85057
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 609 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
87 goes into 410 4 times with a remainder of 62.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1482.850574
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 348 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 620 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1482.8505747
Subtracting 609 from 620 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
87 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1482.85057471
Deduct 87 from 110 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1482.85057471 with a balance of 2.3e-08.
