We're dividing 501987 by 57 
Our goal is to divide 501987 by 57.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 57, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 57

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 50 by 57, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 501 / 57

Advancing to step 3:
501 divided by 57 is 8 with a remainder of 45.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 456 away from 501, we end up with 45.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 459 / 57

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 459 by 57, we get 8 with a remainder of 3.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 88.0
Deduct 456 from 459 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 57

Let's proceed to step 5:
57 goes into 38 0 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 880.0
Subtract 0 from 38 to get 38.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 387 / 57

Going ahead to step 6:
57 can be fit into 387 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8806.0
Subtracting 342 from 387 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 57 fits into 450 7 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8806.7
Deduct 399 from 450 and we're left with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
57 goes into 510 8 times with a remainder of 54.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8806.78
Deduct 456 from 510 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
540 divided by 57 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8806.789
Subtract 513 from 540 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 10:
The number 57 fits into 270 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8806.7894
Subtract 228 from 270 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
57 goes into 420 7 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8806.78947
If we take 399 away from 420, 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 210 by 57, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8806.789473
If we subtract 171 from 210, 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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 390 by 57, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8806.7894736
If we take 342 away from 390, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 57 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8806.78947368
Subtracting 456 from 480 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 8806.78947368 with a remainder of 2.4e-08.
