551242 divided by 87 
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 551242.

Advancing to step 1:
87 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
55 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 55 to get 55.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 551 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 551 6 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 522 from 551 to get 29.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 292 / 87

Step 4:
When dividing 292 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63.0
Deduct 261 from 292 and we're left with 31.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 314 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 314 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 53.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 633.0
If we subtract 261 from 314, we get 53.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 532 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 532 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 10.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6336.0
Subtract 522 from 532 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
100 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6336.1
Deduct 87 from 100 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 130 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6336.11
Subtracting 87 from 130 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6336.11 with a balance of 0.043.
