Let's divide 489702 by 87
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 489702.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 87, we get 0 and 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.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
48 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 489 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
489 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 435 from 489 leaves us with 54.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 547 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
87 goes into 547 6 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we subtract 522 from 547, we get 25.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 250 / 87

Step 5:
87 goes into 250 2 times with a remainder of 76.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 562.0
Subtracting 174 from 250 leaves us with 76.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 76, then repeat: 762 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 762 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 66.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5628.0
If we take 696 away from 762, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 660 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 51.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5628.7
Subtract 609 from 660 to get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
510 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5628.75
If we take 435 away from 510, we end up with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
750 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 54.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5628.758
Subtract 696 from 750 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 540 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5628.7586
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 522 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 180 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5628.75862
If we subtract 174 from 180, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 60 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5628.75862
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.

Step 13:
600 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 78.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5628.7586206
Deduct 522 from 600 and we're left with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
87 goes into 780 8 times with a remainder of 84.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5628.75862068
If we take 696 away from 780, we end up with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5628.75862068 with a remaining 8.4e-08.
