Let's divide 368489 by 87
Our goal is to divide 368489 by 87.

Step 1:
87 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 36 / 87

On to step 2:
If we divide 36 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 36 to get 36.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 368 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
368 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 348 from 368 to get 20.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 204 / 87

Step 4:
The number 87 fits into 204 2 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we take 174 away from 204, we end up with 30.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 308 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 308 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 47.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 423.0
Subtracting 261 from 308 leaves us with 47.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 479 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
87 goes into 479 5 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4235.0
Subtract 435 from 479 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 440 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4235.5
Deduct 435 from 440 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4235.5
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 500 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 65.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4235.505
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 435 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 650 7 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4235.5057
Subtract 609 from 650 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 410 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4235.50574
If we subtract 348 from 410, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 620 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4235.505747
Subtract 609 from 620 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 110 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4235.5057471
Subtract 87 from 110 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 230 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 56.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4235.50574712
Subtract 174 from 230 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4235.50574712 and a remainder of 5.6e-08.
