We divide 551259 by 87
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 551259.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 55.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 55, we get 55.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 551 / 87

Step 3:
551 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 522 from 551 leaves us with 29.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 292 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 292 3 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 63.0
Subtracting 261 from 292 leaves us with 31.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 315 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 315 3 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 633.0
If we subtract 261 from 315, we get 54.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 549 / 87

Step 6:
The number 87 fits into 549 6 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6336.0
Subtract 522 from 549 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
270 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6336.3
Subtracting 261 from 270 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 90 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6336.31
Subtract 87 from 90 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
87 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6336.31
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
87 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6336.3103
Subtracting 261 from 300 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 390 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6336.31034
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 420 4 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6336.310344
Subtracting 348 from 420 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6336.310344 and a remainder of 7.2e-06.
