Let's divide 41707 by 87
Our goal is to divide 41707 by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
87 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 41 / 87

Step 2:
41 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 41 leaves us with 41.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 417 / 87

Step 3:
If we divide 417 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 348 from 417 to get 69.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 690 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 690 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 81.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 609 away from 690, we end up with 81.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 81, then carry on: 817 / 87

On to step 5:
If we divide 817 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 479.0
Subtracting 783 from 817 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
87 can be fit into 340 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 79.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 479.3
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.

On to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 790 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 479.39
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.

Step 8:
87 goes into 70 0 times with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 479.39
Deduct 0 from 70 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 9:
87 can be fit into 700 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 479.3908
Subtract 696 from 700 to 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 479.3908
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
400 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 479.390804
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 348 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
87 goes into 520 5 times with a remainder of 85.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 479.3908045
If we subtract 435 from 520, we get 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 850 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 67.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 479.39080459
Deduct 783 from 850 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 479.39080459, with a leftover of 6.7e-08.
