482497 divided by 87 
We want to divide 482497 by 87.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
87 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 482 / 87

On to step 3:
482 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 435 away from 482, we end up with 47.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 474 / 87

On to step 4:
When dividing 474 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 435 from 474.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 399 / 87

Step 5:
The number 87 fits into 399 4 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 554.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 348 from 399.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 517 / 87

Step 6:
87 goes into 517 5 times with a remainder of 82.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5545.0
Subtract 435 from 517 to get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
87 goes into 820 9 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5545.9
If we take 783 away from 820, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 370 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5545.94
Deduct 348 from 370 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
220 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 46.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5545.942
Subtracting 174 from 220 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 460 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5545.9425
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 435 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
87 can be fit into 250 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5545.94252
Subtracting 174 from 250 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 760 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5545.942528
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 696 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 13:
87 goes into 640 7 times with a remainder of 31.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5545.9425287
If we take 609 away from 640, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 310 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5545.94252873
Subtract 261 from 310 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5545.94252873, with a leftover of 4.9e-08.
