Let's divide 474937 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 474937 can be divided by 87.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 87

On to step 2:
47 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 474 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
87 can be fit into 474 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 435 from 474 leaves us with 39.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 399 / 87

Step 4:
The number 87 fits into 399 4 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 348 from 399.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 513 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 513 5 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 545.0
Subtract 435 from 513 to get 78.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 78, then repeat: 787 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 787 9 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5459.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 783 from 787.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 7:
40 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5459.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 400 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 52.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5459.04
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 348 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 520 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 85.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5459.045
If we take 435 away from 520, we end up with 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Step 10:
87 can be fit into 850 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5459.0459
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 783 from 850.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 670 7 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5459.04597
If we take 609 away from 670, we end up with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 610 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5459.045977
Subtract 609 from 610 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final result is 5459.045977 with a remainder of 1e-07.
