We look at the division of 459472 by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 459472 can be divided by 87.

Step 1:
The number 87 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 45 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
45 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 45 leaves us with 45.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 459 / 87

On to step 3:
If we divide 459 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 24.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 435 from 459 leaves us with 24.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 244 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
244 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 70.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 52.0
If we take 174 away from 244, we end up with 70.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 707 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 707 8 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 528.0
If we take 696 away from 707, we end up with 11.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 112 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
87 goes into 112 1 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5281.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 87 from 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 250 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5281.2
Deduct 174 from 250 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 760 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5281.28
If we subtract 696 from 760, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 9:
87 goes into 640 7 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5281.287
If we take 609 away from 640, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
310 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5281.2873
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 261 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
490 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5281.28735
Deduct 435 from 490 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
87 can be fit into 550 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5281.287356
Subtract 522 from 550 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 13:
87 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5281.2873563
If we take 261 away from 280, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 87 fits into 190 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5281.28735632
Subtract 174 from 190 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5281.28735632 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
