We look at the division of 481878 by 87 
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 481878.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
87 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 481 / 87

On to step 3:
87 goes into 481 5 times with a remainder of 46.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 435 from 481, we get 46.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 468 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 468 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 435 from 468.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 337 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
87 goes into 337 3 times with a remainder of 76.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 553.0
If we subtract 261 from 337, we get 76.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 76, then repeat: 768 / 87

On to step 6:
87 goes into 768 8 times with a remainder of 72.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5538.0
Deduct 696 from 768 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 720 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5538.8
Subtract 696 from 720 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
240 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5538.82
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 174 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
660 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 51.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5538.827
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 609 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 87 fits into 510 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5538.8275
If we subtract 435 from 510, we get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
750 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5538.82758
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 696 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 540 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5538.827586
If we subtract 522 from 540, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
180 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5538.8275862
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 174 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 60 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5538.8275862
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

The final result is 5538.8275862 with a remainder of 6e-08.
