We divide 540289 by 87
We want to divide 540289 by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
54 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 54.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 54, we get 54.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 540 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 540 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 522 from 540 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 182 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
87 can be fit into 182 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62.0
Subtract 174 from 182 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
88 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 621.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 87 from 88.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 87

On to step 6:
87 can be fit into 19 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6210.0
Deduct 0 from 19 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 190 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6210.2
If we take 174 away from 190, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 73.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6210.21
Subtract 87 from 160 to get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 730 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6210.218
Subtract 696 from 730 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
340 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 79.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6210.2183
If we take 261 away from 340, we end up with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 790 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6210.21839
Deduct 783 from 790 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 70 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6210.21839
Deduct 0 from 70 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
87 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6210.2183908
Deduct 696 from 700 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
87 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6210.2183908
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6210.2183908 with a remaining 4e-08.
