We divide 556998 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 556998 can be divided by 87.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 55 to get 55.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 556 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
87 can be fit into 556 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 522 from 556 and we're left with 34.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 349 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 349 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 64.0
Subtract 348 from 349 to get 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 19 0 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 640.0
Subtracting 0 from 19 leaves us with 19.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 198 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
198 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6402.0
Subtracting 174 from 198 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
240 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 66.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6402.2
If we subtract 174 from 240, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 660 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 51.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6402.27
Subtracting 609 from 660 leaves us with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 510 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6402.275
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 435 from 510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 750 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6402.2758
If we subtract 696 from 750, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 540 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6402.27586
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 522 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
87 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6402.275862
Subtracting 174 from 180 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 13:
87 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6402.275862
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 600 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 78.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6402.27586206
Deduct 522 from 600 and we're left with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6402.27586206, and the remainder is 7.8e-08.
