Let's divide 503970 by 87
We want to figure out the number of times 503970 can be divided by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
87 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 87

Step 2:
If we divide 50 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 503 / 87

On to step 3:
If we divide 503 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 68.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 435 away from 503, we end up with 68.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 68 and continue: 689 / 87

On to step 4:
689 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 80.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57.0
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 609 from 689.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 80 and continue with: 807 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
807 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 24.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 579.0
Subtracting 783 from 807 leaves us with 24.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 240 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 240 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 66.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5792.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 174 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
660 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5792.7
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 609 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Step 8:
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: 5792.75
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 750 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5792.758
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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 540 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5792.7586
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 180 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5792.75862
Deduct 174 from 180 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
87 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5792.75862
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
600 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 78.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5792.7586206
Subtract 522 from 600 to 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 14:
If we divide 780 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 84.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5792.75862068
If we subtract 696 from 780, we 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.

The final result is 5792.75862068 with a remainder of 8.4e-08.
