579477 divided by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 579477 can be divided by 87.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 57 / 87

On to step 2:
87 can be fit into 57 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 0 from 57.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 579 / 87

Step 3:
87 goes into 579 6 times with a remainder of 57.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 522 from 579 to get 57.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 57, then repeat: 574 / 87

Step 4:
87 can be fit into 574 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 66.0
Subtract 522 from 574 to get 52.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 527 / 87

Step 5:
87 goes into 527 6 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 666.0
If we take 522 away from 527, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 57 / 87

On to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 57 0 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6660.0
Deduct 0 from 57 and we're left with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Step 7:
87 goes into 570 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6660.6
Subtracting 522 from 570 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
87 goes into 480 5 times with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6660.65
If we subtract 435 from 480, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
450 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6660.655
Subtract 435 from 450 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final result is 6660.655 with a remainder of 0.0015.
