We divide 493309 by 87
We want to divide 493309 by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 87

Advancing 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
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 493 / 87

On to step 3:
87 can be fit into 493 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 435 away from 493, we end up with 58.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 58 and repeat the process: 583 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
87 can be fit into 583 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 522 from 583.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 610 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
87 can be fit into 610 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 567.0
Subtracting 609 from 610 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 19 0 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5670.0
If we subtract 0 from 19, we 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 190 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5670.2
Subtracting 174 from 190 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
87 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 73.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5670.21
If we subtract 87 from 160, we get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 730 8 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5670.218
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 340 3 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5670.2183
Subtract 261 from 340 to get 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 11:
If we divide 790 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5670.21839
If we take 783 away from 790, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5670.21839
Subtract 0 from 70 to 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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5670.2183908
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 696 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
87 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5670.2183908
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5670.2183908 with a remaining 4e-08.
