401270 divided by 87 
We want to divide 401270 by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
87 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
87 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 401 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
401 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 348 from 401, we get 53.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 532 / 87

On to step 4:
If we divide 532 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 10.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46.0
Deduct 522 from 532 and we're left with 10.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 107 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 107 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 461.0
Deduct 87 from 107 and we're left with 20.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 200 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
87 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4612.0
Subtracting 174 from 200 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
260 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 86.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4612.2
Deduct 174 from 260 and we're left with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 87 fits into 860 9 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4612.29
If we subtract 783 from 860, we get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 770 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4612.298
Subtract 696 from 770 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 740 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4612.2988
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 696 from 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The final result is 4612.2988 with a remainder of 0.00044.
