Let's divide 43051 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 43051 can be divided by 87.

On to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 43 / 87

Step 2:
87 goes into 43 0 times with a remainder of 43.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 43 and we're left with 43.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 430 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 430 4 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 82 after subtracting 348 from 430.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 82 and repeat the process: 825 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 825 9 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 783 from 825.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 421 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 421 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 73.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 494.0
Deduct 348 from 421 and we're left with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 730 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 494.8
If we take 696 away from 730, we end up 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 340 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 79.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 494.83
Deduct 261 from 340 and we're left 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 8:
If we divide 790 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 494.839
Subtract 783 from 790 to 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.

On to step 9:
70 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 494.839
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
700 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 494.83908
If we take 696 away from 700, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
40 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 494.83908
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 494.8390804
If we subtract 348 from 400, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 520 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 85.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 494.83908045
The remainder is 85 after subtracting 435 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 494.83908045 and a remainder of 8.5e-08.
