We're dividing 471759 by 87 
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 471759.

Moving on to step 1:
87 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 87

Step 2:
47 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 471 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 471 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 435 from 471 to get 36.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 367 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
87 can be fit into 367 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
Deduct 348 from 367 and we're left with 19.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 195 / 87

On to step 5:
195 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 542.0
If we subtract 174 from 195, we get 21.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 219 / 87

Step 6:
The number 87 fits into 219 2 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5422.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 174 from 219.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 450 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5422.5
Subtract 435 from 450 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
150 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 63.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5422.51
Subtracting 87 from 150 leaves us with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Step 9:
87 goes into 630 7 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5422.517
Deduct 609 from 630 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
The number 87 fits into 210 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5422.5172
Subtracting 174 from 210 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
87 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5422.51724
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 348 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
120 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 33.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5422.517241
Subtracting 87 from 120 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.

Step 13:
87 can be fit into 330 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5422.5172413
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.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 87 fits into 690 7 times, leaving a remainder of 81.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5422.51724137
Deduct 609 from 690 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5422.51724137 with a balance of 8.1e-08.
