408722 divided by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 408722 can be divided by 87.

Moving on 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
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 40 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 408 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 408 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 60.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 348 from 408.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 60 and continue with: 607 / 87

Step 4:
87 can be fit into 607 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtracting 522 from 607 leaves us with 85.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 85, then carry on: 852 / 87

On to step 5:
If we divide 852 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 469.0
Subtracting 783 from 852 leaves us with 69.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 692 / 87

Step 6:
692 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 83.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4697.0
Deduct 609 from 692 and we're left with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
87 goes into 830 9 times with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4697.9
Subtracting 783 from 830 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 470 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4697.95
If we subtract 435 from 470, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4697.954
If we take 348 away from 350, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
87 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4697.954
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
87 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4697.95402
Subtracting 174 from 200 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
87 goes into 260 2 times with a remainder of 86.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4697.954022
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 174 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4697.954022 with a balance of 8.6e-06.
