480548 ÷ 87 
We want to divide 480548 by 87.

Step 1:
The number 87 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 87

Step 2:
When dividing 48 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 480 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 480 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 435 from 480, we get 45.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 455 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 455 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we take 435 away from 455, we end up with 20.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 204 / 87

On to step 5:
When dividing 204 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 552.0
If we take 174 away from 204, we end up with 30.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 308 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 308 3 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5523.0
If we subtract 261 from 308, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
470 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5523.5
Subtracting 435 from 470 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
87 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5523.54
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 348 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
20 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5523.54
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 200 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5523.5402
If we take 174 away from 200, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 11:
87 goes into 260 2 times with a remainder of 86.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5523.54022
Subtract 174 from 260 to get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5523.54022, with a leftover of 8.6e-05.
