We're dividing 537497 by 87 
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 537497.

Step 1:
The number 87 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 87

Step 2:
If we divide 53 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 53.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 0 from 53.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 537 / 87

On to step 3:
537 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 522 from 537.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 154 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 154 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we subtract 87 from 154, we get 67.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 67 and continue: 679 / 87

Step 5:
The number 87 fits into 679 7 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 617.0
If we subtract 609 from 679, we get 70.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 707 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
87 goes into 707 8 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6178.0
Subtract 696 from 707 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
87 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6178.1
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 87 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
87 can be fit into 230 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6178.12
Deduct 174 from 230 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 560 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6178.126
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 522 from 560.
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: 6178.1264
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.

On to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6178.12643
If we subtract 261 from 320, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
590 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 68.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6178.126436
Subtracting 522 from 590 leaves us 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.

On to step 13:
87 goes into 680 7 times with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6178.1264367
Subtract 609 from 680 to get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 710 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6178.12643678
Deduct 696 from 710 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final result is 6178.12643678 with a remainder of 1.4e-08.
