491674 ÷ 87 
Our goal is to divide 491674 by 87.

Going ahead to step 1:
87 goes into 4 0 times 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.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
49 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 491 / 87

On to step 3:
491 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 56.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 435 from 491 and we're left with 56.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 566 / 87

On to step 4:
566 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we subtract 522 from 566, we get 44.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 447 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 447 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 12.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 565.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 435 from 447.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 124 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 124 1 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5651.0
Subtracting 87 from 124 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
370 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5651.4
Subtracting 348 from 370 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 220 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5651.42
If we subtract 174 from 220, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 460 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5651.425
Subtract 435 from 460 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 250 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 76.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5651.4252
Subtracting 174 from 250 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 11:
87 goes into 760 8 times with a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5651.42528
Subtract 696 from 760 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
87 can be fit into 640 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5651.425287
If we take 609 away from 640, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
87 can be fit into 310 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5651.4252873
Subtracting 261 from 310 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 490 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5651.42528735
Subtract 435 from 490 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5651.42528735, and the remainder is 5.5e-08.
