Let's divide 480731 by 87
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 480731.

Let's proceed to step 1:
87 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 87

Step 2:
The number 87 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 480 / 87

On to step 3:
If we divide 480 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 435 from 480, we get 45.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 457 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 457 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtract 435 from 457 to get 22.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 223 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
87 can be fit into 223 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 552.0
Subtract 174 from 223 to get 49.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 491 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
87 goes into 491 5 times with a remainder of 56.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5525.0
If we take 435 away from 491, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 560 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5525.6
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 522 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5525.64
Subtracting 348 from 380 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5525.643
If we subtract 261 from 320, we get 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 10:
When dividing 590 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 68.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5525.6436
If we subtract 522 from 590, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 680 7 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5525.64367
Subtract 609 from 680 to get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
87 can be fit into 710 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5525.643678
Subtracting 696 from 710 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 140 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5525.6436781
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
530 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5525.64367816
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 522 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5525.64367816 with a balance of 8e-09.
