Let's divide 5423437 by 487
We want to divide 5423437 by 487.

On to step 1:
487 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 487

Step 2:
The number 487 fits into 54 0 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 54 to get 54.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 542 / 487

Moving on to step 3:
487 goes into 542 1 times with a remainder of 55.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 487 away from 542, we end up with 55.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 553 / 487

Going ahead to step 4:
487 can be fit into 553 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 487 from 553 and we're left with 66.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 66 and continue: 664 / 487

Step 5:
487 can be fit into 664 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 177.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 111.0
Deduct 487 from 664 and we're left with 177.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 177, then carry on: 1773 / 487

Step 6:
1773 divided by 487 is 3 with a remainder of 312.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1113.0
Subtract 1461 from 1773 to get 312.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 312 and continue with: 3127 / 487

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 3127 by 487, we get 6 with a remainder of 205.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11136.0
Deduct 2922 from 3127 and we're left with 205.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2050, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 2050 by 487, we get 4 and a remainder of 102.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11136.4
If we take 1948 away from 2050, we end up with 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 487 fits into 1020 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11136.42
If we take 974 away from 1020, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 460 by 487, we get 0 with a remainder of 460.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11136.42
The remainder is 460 after subtracting 0 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 487 fits into 4600 9 times, leaving a remainder of 217.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11136.4209
If we subtract 4383 from 4600, we get 217.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 2170 by 487, we get 4 and a remainder of 222.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11136.42094
Subtracting 1948 from 2170 leaves us with 222.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2220, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 487 fits into 2220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 272.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11136.420944
The remainder is 272 after subtracting 1948 from 2220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11136.420944 with a remaining 2.72e-05.
