Let's divide 479235 by 87
Our goal is to divide 479235 by 87.

Going ahead to step 1:
87 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 479 / 87

On to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 479 5 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 435 from 479, we get 44.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 442 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 442 5 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 435 from 442, we get 7.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 73 / 87

Step 5:
The number 87 fits into 73 0 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 550.0
Subtracting 0 from 73 leaves us with 73.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 735 / 87

Step 6:
When dividing 735 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 39.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5508.0
If we subtract 696 from 735, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 390 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5508.4
Subtracting 348 from 390 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 8:
420 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5508.44
Deduct 348 from 420 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5508.44 with a balance of 0.072.
