We divide 480051 by 87
We want to divide 480051 by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 87

On to step 2:
87 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 480 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
87 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 435 from 480 and we're left with 45.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 450 / 87

Step 4:
When dividing 450 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Deduct 435 from 450 and we're left with 15.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 155 / 87

Step 5:
155 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 68.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 551.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 87 from 155.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 681 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 681 7 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5517.0
If we take 609 away from 681, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 720 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5517.8
Subtract 696 from 720 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
87 can be fit into 240 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5517.82
Subtracting 174 from 240 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
87 goes into 660 7 times with a remainder of 51.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5517.827
If we subtract 609 from 660, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
510 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5517.8275
Subtracting 435 from 510 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
87 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 54.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5517.82758
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.

Step 12:
If we divide 540 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5517.827586
If we take 522 away from 540, we end up with 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 13:
When dividing 180 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5517.8275862
If we take 174 away from 180, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 14:
60 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5517.8275862
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5517.8275862 and a remainder of 6e-08.
