We look at the division of 487500 by 87 
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 487500.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 87

On to step 2:
48 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 487 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 487 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 435 from 487, we get 52.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 525 / 87

Step 4:
The number 87 fits into 525 6 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56.0
Subtract 522 from 525 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 30 / 87

On to step 5:
87 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 560.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 300 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
87 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5603.0
If we subtract 261 from 300, 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:
If we divide 390 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5603.4
Subtract 348 from 390 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
87 goes into 420 4 times with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5603.44
Subtract 348 from 420 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The final result is 5603.44 with a remainder of 0.072.
