We're dividing 407981 by 887 
We want to figure out the number of times 407981 can be divided by 887.

On to step 1:
887 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 887

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 40 by 887, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 407 / 887

Advancing to step 3:
The number 887 fits into 407 0 times, leaving a remainder of 407.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 407 leaves us with 407.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 407, then repeat: 4079 / 887

Step 4:
If we divide 4079 by 887, we get 4 and a remainder of 531.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 3548 from 4079, we get 531.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 531 and continue with: 5318 / 887

Step 5:
When dividing 5318 by 887, we get 5 with a remainder of 883.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45.0
Deduct 4435 from 5318 and we're left with 883.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 883 and continue with: 8831 / 887

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 8831 by 887, we get 9 and a remainder of 848.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 459.0
The remainder is 848 after subtracting 7983 from 8831.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
887 goes into 8480 9 times with a remainder of 497.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 459.9
The remainder is 497 after subtracting 7983 from 8480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4970, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
4970 divided by 887 is 5 with a remainder of 535.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 459.95
The remainder is 535 after subtracting 4435 from 4970.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5350, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
887 goes into 5350 6 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 459.956
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 5322 from 5350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 280 by 887, we get 0 with a remainder of 280.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 459.956
Deduct 0 from 280 and we're left with 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2800, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 2800 by 887, we get 3 with a remainder of 139.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 459.95603
Deduct 2661 from 2800 and we're left with 139.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
887 goes into 1390 1 times with a remainder of 503.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 459.956031
Subtract 887 from 1390 to get 503.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5030, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
5030 divided by 887 is 5 with a remainder of 595.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 459.9560315
Subtract 4435 from 5030 to get 595.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5950, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 5950 by 887, we get 6 with a remainder of 628.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 459.95603156
The remainder is 628 after subtracting 5322 from 5950.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6280, and continue the process.

The final result is 459.95603156 with a remainder of 6.28e-07.
