We look at the division of 419420 by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 419420 can be divided by 87.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 41 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 41 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 41.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 41, we end up with 41.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 419 / 87

On to step 3:
87 goes into 419 4 times with a remainder of 71.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 348 from 419.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 714 / 87

Step 4:
If we divide 714 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 18.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 696 from 714.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 182 / 87

On to step 5:
87 goes into 182 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 482.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 174 from 182.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 80 / 87

On to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4820.0
Subtracting 0 from 80 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
87 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4820.9
Deduct 783 from 800 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
87 can be fit into 170 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 83.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4820.91
If we subtract 87 from 170, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 830 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4820.919
Subtract 783 from 830 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 470 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4820.9195
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 435 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
87 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4820.91954
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 348 from 350.
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 12:
87 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4820.91954
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
200 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4820.9195402
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.

On to step 14:
87 goes into 260 2 times with a remainder of 86.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4820.91954022
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 174 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4820.91954022 with a remaining 8.6e-08.
