871948 ÷ 5 
We want to divide 871948 by 5.

On to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 5, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 5 from 8 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 5

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 37 by 5, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 35 from 37, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 5

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 21 by 5, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174.0
Deduct 20 from 21 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 5

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 19 by 5, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1743.0
Subtracting 15 from 19 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 44 / 5

Advancing to step 5:
44 divided by 5 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17438.0
Deduct 40 from 44 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 5

Let's proceed to step 6:
48 divided by 5 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 174389.0
Subtracting 45 from 48 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 5 fits into 30 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 174389.6
Deduct 30 from 30 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 5, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 174389.6
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
5 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 174389.6
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 174389.6, with a leftover of 0.0.
