Let's divide 559964 by 87
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 559964.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 87

Step 2:
87 goes into 55 0 times with a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 55 to get 55.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 559 / 87

On to step 3:
87 goes into 559 6 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 522 from 559 and we're left with 37.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 379 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
87 goes into 379 4 times with a remainder of 31.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 64.0
If we take 348 away from 379, we end up with 31.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 316 / 87

On to step 5:
316 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 643.0
If we take 261 away from 316, we end up with 55.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 554 / 87

Step 6:
87 can be fit into 554 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6436.0
If we take 522 away from 554, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
87 can be fit into 320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6436.3
If we take 261 away from 320, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
87 can be fit into 590 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6436.36
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 522 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 680 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 71.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6436.367
Subtracting 609 from 680 leaves us with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
87 goes into 710 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6436.3678
Deduct 696 from 710 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
87 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 53.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6436.36781
If we subtract 87 from 140, we get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Step 12:
87 can be fit into 530 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6436.367816
If we subtract 522 from 530, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 13:
87 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6436.367816
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
87 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6436.36781609
If we take 783 away from 800, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6436.36781609 with a remaining 1.7e-08.
