479386 divided by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 479386 can be divided by 87.

Step 1:
4 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 87

Step 2:
If we divide 47 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 47.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 47 and we're left with 47.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 479 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
87 can be fit into 479 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 435 from 479, we get 44.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 443 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 443 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Deduct 435 from 443 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
87 goes into 88 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 551.0
Deduct 87 from 88 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
87 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5510.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 160 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 73.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5510.1
If we take 87 away from 160, we end up with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 730 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5510.18
Subtract 696 from 730 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 340 3 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5510.183
The remainder is 79 after subtracting 261 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 790 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5510.1839
Subtract 783 from 790 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 70 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5510.1839
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 0 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 700 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5510.183908
If we take 696 away from 700, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
40 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5510.183908
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 400 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 52.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5510.18390804
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.

The final result is 5510.18390804 with a remainder of 5.2e-08.
