Let's divide 638046 by 87
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 638046.

Advancing to step 1:
6 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 63 / 87

Step 2:
87 goes into 63 0 times with a remainder of 63.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 0 from 63.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 638 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
638 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 609 from 638, we get 29.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 290 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
87 can be fit into 290 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73.0
Deduct 261 from 290 and we're left with 29.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 294 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
294 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 33.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 733.0
Subtract 261 from 294 to get 33.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 336 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 336 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 75.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7333.0
Deduct 261 from 336 and we're left with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
87 can be fit into 750 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7333.8
Deduct 696 from 750 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
87 goes into 540 6 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7333.86
Subtract 522 from 540 to 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 180 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7333.862
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 174 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 60 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7333.862
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
87 can be fit into 600 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7333.86206
If we subtract 522 from 600, we get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 780 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7333.862068
Subtract 696 from 780 to get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 840 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 57.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7333.8620689
If we subtract 783 from 840, we get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
87 can be fit into 570 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7333.86206896
Subtracting 522 from 570 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7333.86206896 with a remaining 4.8e-08.
