We look at the division of 615471 by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 615471 can be divided by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 61 / 87

Step 2:
If we divide 61 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 61 and we're left with 61.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 615 / 87

Step 3:
615 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 609 away from 615, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 64 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
87 can be fit into 64 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtract 0 from 64 to get 64.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 647 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
647 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 707.0
If we subtract 609 from 647, we get 38.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 381 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 381 4 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7074.0
Subtracting 348 from 381 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.

On to step 7:
87 can be fit into 330 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7074.3
Subtracting 261 from 330 leaves us with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
87 can be fit into 690 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 81.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7074.37
Subtracting 609 from 690 leaves us with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
810 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7074.379
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.

Moving on to step 10:
87 can be fit into 270 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7074.3793
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 261 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
87 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7074.37931
Subtract 87 from 90 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 12:
87 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7074.37931
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7074.3793103
If we subtract 261 from 300, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 87 fits into 390 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7074.37931034
Subtracting 348 from 390 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

The final result is 7074.37931034 with a remainder of 4.2e-08.
