We're dividing 531041 by 87 
Our goal is to divide 531041 by 87.

Step 1:
87 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 87

On to step 2:
53 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 53.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 53 leaves us with 53.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 531 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 531 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 522 from 531 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 90 / 87

On to step 4:
When dividing 90 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtract 87 from 90 to get 3.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 34 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
87 can be fit into 34 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 610.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 0 from 34.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 341 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
87 goes into 341 3 times with a remainder of 80.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6103.0
If we take 261 away from 341, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 800 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6103.9
If we subtract 783 from 800, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
170 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 83.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6103.91
Subtract 87 from 170 to get 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 830 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 47.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6103.919
If we take 783 away from 830, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
87 goes into 470 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6103.9195
Subtracting 435 from 470 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6103.91954
If we take 348 away from 350, 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 20 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6103.91954
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 13:
87 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6103.9195402
Subtract 174 from 200 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
260 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 86.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6103.91954022
If we subtract 174 from 260, we get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6103.91954022, and the remainder is 8.6e-08.
