Let's divide 497956 by 87
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 497956.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 497 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
87 goes into 497 5 times with a remainder of 62.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 435 from 497 and we're left with 62.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 629 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 629 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 20.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we subtract 609 from 629, we get 20.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 205 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 205 2 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 572.0
If we take 174 away from 205, we end up with 31.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 316 / 87

Step 6:
316 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5723.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 261 from 316.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
87 goes into 550 6 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5723.6
If we subtract 522 from 550, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5723.63
Subtract 261 from 280 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
190 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5723.632
Deduct 174 from 190 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
160 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 73.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5723.6321
Subtracting 87 from 160 leaves us with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 730 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5723.63218
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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 340 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 79.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5723.632183
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 790 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5723.6321839
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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 70 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 70.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5723.6321839
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5723.6321839 with a balance of 7e-08.
