55979075 divided by 87 
We want to divide 55979075 by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the 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:
The number 87 fits into 55 0 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 55, we end up with 55.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 559 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 559 6 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 522 from 559 leaves us with 37.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 377 / 87

Step 4:
377 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 64.0
Subtracting 348 from 377 leaves us with 29.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 299 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 299 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 643.0
If we subtract 261 from 299, we get 38.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 380 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6434.0
Deduct 348 from 380 and we're left with 32.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 327 / 87

On to step 7:
327 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 66.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 64343.0
Deduct 261 from 327 and we're left with 66.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 66, then repeat: 665 / 87

Going ahead to step 8:
87 can be fit into 665 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 643437.0
Subtracting 609 from 665 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
87 can be fit into 560 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 643437.6
If we subtract 522 from 560, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 380 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 643437.64
Subtracting 348 from 380 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
320 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 59.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 643437.643
If we take 261 away from 320, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 590 6 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 643437.6436
If we take 522 away from 590, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 680 7 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 643437.64367
Deduct 609 from 680 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
87 goes into 710 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 643437.643678
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 696 from 710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
140 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 53.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 643437.6436781
If we subtract 87 from 140, we get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 87 fits into 530 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 643437.64367816
Subtract 522 from 530 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 643437.64367816, and the remainder is 8e-09.
