Let's divide 557472 by 87
Our goal is to divide 557472 by 87.

Step 1:
5 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 87

On to step 2:
87 can be fit into 55 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 55, we end up with 55.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 557 / 87

Step 3:
If we divide 557 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 522 from 557 and we're left with 35.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 354 / 87

Step 4:
87 goes into 354 4 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 64.0
Subtracting 348 from 354 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 67 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 67 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 67.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 640.0
If we subtract 0 from 67, we get 67.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 67 and repeat the process: 672 / 87

On to step 6:
672 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 63.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6407.0
If we subtract 609 from 672, we get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 630 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 21.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6407.7
If we take 609 away from 630, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 210 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6407.72
If we subtract 174 from 210, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 360 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6407.724
If we subtract 348 from 360, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6407.7241
Subtracting 87 from 120 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
When dividing 330 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 69.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6407.72413
Subtract 261 from 330 to 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 12:
87 can be fit into 690 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 81.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6407.724137
If we subtract 609 from 690, we get 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 13:
810 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6407.7241379
Subtract 783 from 810 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 270 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6407.72413793
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 6407.72413793 with a balance of 9e-09.
