444978 divided by 87 
We want to divide 444978 by 87.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 44 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
44 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 44.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 44, we get 44.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 44, then repeat: 444 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
87 goes into 444 5 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 435 from 444 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
87 goes into 99 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 87 from 99.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 127 / 87

Step 5:
The number 87 fits into 127 1 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 511.0
Subtract 87 from 127 to get 40.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 408 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
87 can be fit into 408 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5114.0
Subtracting 348 from 408 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.

On to step 7:
600 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 78.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5114.6
Deduct 522 from 600 and we're left with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 780 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 84.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5114.68
If we subtract 696 from 780, we get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
840 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 57.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5114.689
Subtracting 783 from 840 leaves us with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 570 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5114.6896
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 522 from 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
87 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5114.68965
If we take 435 away from 480, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 450 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5114.689655
If we take 435 away from 450, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5114.689655 with a remaining 1.5e-06.
