We divide 491361 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 491361 can be divided by 87.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 87

Step 2:
When dividing 49 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 491 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 491 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 56.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 435 from 491.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 563 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 563 6 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
Subtract 522 from 563 to get 41.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 416 / 87

Step 5:
87 can be fit into 416 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 564.0
If we subtract 348 from 416, we get 68.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 681 / 87

Step 6:
If we divide 681 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 72.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5647.0
Subtract 609 from 681 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 720 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5647.8
Subtract 696 from 720 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 240 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5647.82
Subtracting 174 from 240 leaves us with 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 9:
When dividing 660 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 51.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5647.827
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 510 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5647.8275
Deduct 435 from 510 and we're left with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 750 8 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5647.82758
Subtracting 696 from 750 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 12:
540 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5647.827586
Subtracting 522 from 540 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 180 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5647.8275862
If we subtract 174 from 180, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 60 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5647.8275862
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5647.8275862, and the remainder is 6e-08.
