Let's divide 462090 by 87
We want to divide 462090 by 87.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 87

On to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 46 0 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 46 leaves us with 46.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 462 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 462 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 27.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 435 from 462, we get 27.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 270 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 270 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we take 261 away from 270, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 99 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 99 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 531.0
Deduct 87 from 99 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 120 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
87 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5311.0
If we take 87 away from 120, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
330 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 69.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5311.3
If we subtract 261 from 330, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 8:
87 goes into 690 7 times with a remainder of 81.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5311.37
Subtracting 609 from 690 leaves us with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 810 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5311.379
If we take 783 away from 810, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
87 can be fit into 270 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5311.3793
Deduct 261 from 270 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
87 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5311.37931
Subtract 87 from 90 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5311.37931
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5311.3793103
If we take 261 away from 300, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 87 fits into 390 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5311.37931034
If we take 348 away from 390, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5311.37931034, with a leftover of 4.2e-08.
