Let's divide 12871527 by 204
Our goal is to divide 12871527 by 204.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 204, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 204

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 12 by 204, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 128 / 204

Step 3:
The number 204 fits into 128 0 times, leaving a remainder of 128.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 128 and we're left with 128.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 128 and repeat the process: 1287 / 204

Going ahead to step 4:
1287 divided by 204 is 6 with a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 1224 from 1287, we get 63.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 631 / 204

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 631 by 204, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 63.0
If we take 612 away from 631, we end up with 19.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 195 / 204

Moving on to step 6:
204 goes into 195 0 times with a remainder of 195.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 630.0
Subtract 0 from 195 to get 195.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 195 and continue with: 1952 / 204

Advancing to step 7:
204 goes into 1952 9 times with a remainder of 116.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6309.0
Subtract 1836 from 1952 to get 116.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 116 and repeat the process: 1167 / 204

Let's proceed to step 8:
204 goes into 1167 5 times with a remainder of 147.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 63095.0
If we subtract 1020 from 1167, we get 147.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
204 can be fit into 1470 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 63095.7
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 1428 from 1470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 10:
420 divided by 204 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63095.72
If we subtract 408 from 420, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 120 by 204, we get 0 and a remainder of 120.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 63095.72
Subtracting 0 from 120 leaves us with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
204 can be fit into 1200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 180.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 63095.7205
Deduct 1020 from 1200 and we're left with 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
1800 divided by 204 is 8 with a remainder of 168.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 63095.72058
Subtract 1632 from 1800 to get 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
204 goes into 1680 8 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63095.720588
Deduct 1632 from 1680 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 63095.720588 with a balance of 4.8e-06.
