We're dividing 462873 by 89 
We want to figure out the number of times 462873 can be divided by 89.

Moving on to step 1:
89 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 89

On to step 2:
46 divided by 89 is 0 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 46 to get 46.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 462 / 89

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 462 by 89, we get 5 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 445 from 462, we get 17.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 178 / 89

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 89 fits into 178 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52.0
Subtracting 178 from 178 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 89

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 7 by 89, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 520.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 73 / 89

Advancing to step 6:
The number 89 fits into 73 0 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5200.0
If we subtract 0 from 73, we get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 730 by 89, we get 8 and a remainder of 18.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5200.8
Subtracting 712 from 730 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
89 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5200.82
If we take 178 away from 180, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 20 by 89, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5200.82
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
89 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5200.8202
Deduct 178 from 200 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 220 by 89, we get 2 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5200.82022
If we take 178 away from 220, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 5200.82022 and a remainder of 4.2e-05.
