Let's divide 404836 by 87
Our goal is to divide 404836 by 87.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
40 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 404 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
87 goes into 404 4 times with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 348 from 404 and we're left with 56.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 568 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 568 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 46.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtracting 522 from 568 leaves us with 46.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 463 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 463 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 465.0
Deduct 435 from 463 and we're left with 28.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 286 / 87

On to step 6:
286 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4653.0
If we subtract 261 from 286, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
87 can be fit into 250 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4653.2
If we take 174 away from 250, we end up with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 760 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4653.28
Subtracting 696 from 760 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 640 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 31.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4653.287
Subtract 609 from 640 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
87 goes into 310 3 times with a remainder of 49.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4653.2873
If we take 261 away from 310, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
87 goes into 490 5 times with a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4653.28735
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 435 from 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 550 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4653.287356
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 522 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 13:
87 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4653.2873563
Subtracting 261 from 280 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 190 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4653.28735632
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 174 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4653.28735632, and the remainder is 1.6e-08.
