537862 divided by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 537862 can be divided by 87.

On to step 1:
87 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 87

Step 2:
If we divide 53 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 53 leaves us with 53.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 537 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
537 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 522 away from 537, we end up with 15.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
87 goes into 158 1 times with a remainder of 71.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Deduct 87 from 158 and we're left with 71.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 716 / 87

Step 5:
The number 87 fits into 716 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 618.0
If we take 696 away from 716, we end up with 20.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 202 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 202 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6182.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 174 from 202.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 280 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6182.3
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 261 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 190 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6182.32
Deduct 174 from 190 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
160 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6182.321
Deduct 87 from 160 and we're left with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 730 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6182.3218
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 696 from 730.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 340 3 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6182.32183
Deduct 261 from 340 and we're left with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 790 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6182.321839
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 783 from 790.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 70 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6182.321839
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 700 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6182.32183908
If we take 696 away from 700, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6182.32183908 with a remaining 4e-09.
