We divide 408053 by 87
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 408053.

Step 1:
87 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in 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.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 87

On to step 2:
40 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 408 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
408 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 348 away from 408, we end up with 60.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 600 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 600 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 78.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46.0
The remainder is 78 after subtracting 522 from 600.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 78 and repeat the process: 785 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 785 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 469.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 783 from 785.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
87 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4690.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 230 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 56.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4690.2
Subtracting 174 from 230 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
87 can be fit into 560 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4690.26
If we take 522 away from 560, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
87 can be fit into 380 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4690.264
Subtract 348 from 380 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
87 goes into 320 3 times with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4690.2643
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 11:
87 goes into 590 6 times with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4690.26436
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
87 can be fit into 680 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4690.264367
If we take 609 away from 680, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 710 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4690.2643678
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 696 from 710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 140 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4690.26436781
Subtract 87 from 140 to 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.

Our division results in 4690.26436781 with a remaining 5.3e-08.
