We look at the division of 598141 by 87 
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 598141.

Let's proceed to step 1:
87 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 59 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 59, we end up with 59.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 598 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 598 6 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 522 from 598.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 76 and continue with: 761 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 761 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 68.0
Deduct 696 from 761 and we're left with 65.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 654 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
654 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 687.0
If we subtract 609 from 654, we get 45.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 451 / 87

Step 6:
87 goes into 451 5 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6875.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 435 from 451.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 160 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6875.1
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 87 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Step 8:
730 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6875.18
If we take 696 away from 730, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 340 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 79.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6875.183
Subtracting 261 from 340 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
87 goes into 790 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6875.1839
Subtract 783 from 790 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6875.1839
If we subtract 0 from 70, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 700 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6875.183908
Subtracting 696 from 700 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 40 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6875.183908
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 400 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6875.18390804
If we subtract 348 from 400, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6875.18390804 and a remainder of 5.2e-08.
