Let's divide 477547 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 477547 can be divided by 87.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 477 / 87

On to step 3:
477 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 42.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 435 away from 477, we end up with 42.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 425 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 425 4 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
Deduct 348 from 425 and we're left with 77.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 77, then repeat: 774 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 774 8 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 548.0
Subtract 696 from 774 to get 78.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 78, then carry on: 787 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 787 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5489.0
If we subtract 783 from 787, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 40 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5489.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 52.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5489.04
If we subtract 348 from 400, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 9:
520 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 85.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5489.045
Subtracting 435 from 520 leaves us with 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
87 goes into 850 9 times with a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5489.0459
If we subtract 783 from 850, we get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
87 can be fit into 670 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5489.04597
Subtracting 609 from 670 leaves us with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 610 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5489.045977
If we take 609 away from 610, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5489.045977, and the remainder is 1e-07.
