We're dividing 494667 by 87 
We want to divide 494667 by 87.

Let's proceed to 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
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
87 goes into 49 0 times with a remainder of 49.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 494 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
87 goes into 494 5 times with a remainder of 59.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 435 from 494, we get 59.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 596 / 87

Step 4:
If we divide 596 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 74.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 522 from 596.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 746 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
87 can be fit into 746 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 568.0
Subtracting 696 from 746 leaves us with 50.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 507 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
87 can be fit into 507 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5685.0
If we take 435 away from 507, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 720 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5685.8
If we subtract 696 from 720, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 240 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 66.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5685.82
If we subtract 174 from 240, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
660 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5685.827
Subtracting 609 from 660 leaves us with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 510 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5685.8275
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 435 from 510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 11:
87 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 54.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5685.82758
Subtract 696 from 750 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 12:
540 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5685.827586
If we subtract 522 from 540, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
180 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5685.8275862
If we subtract 174 from 180, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
60 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5685.8275862
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5685.8275862, with a leftover of 6e-08.
