We look at the division of 55884921 by 87 
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 55884921.

Moving on to step 1:
87 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
55 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 55 and we're left with 55.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 558 / 87

Step 3:
87 goes into 558 6 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 522 from 558 and we're left with 36.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 368 / 87

On to step 4:
If we divide 368 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 64.0
If we take 348 away from 368, we end up with 20.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 204 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
204 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 30.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 642.0
If we take 174 away from 204, we end up with 30.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 309 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 309 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6423.0
If we take 261 away from 309, we end up with 48.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 482 / 87

On to step 7:
482 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 47.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 64235.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 435 from 482.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 471 / 87

Let's proceed to step 8:
87 goes into 471 5 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 642355.0
If we subtract 435 from 471, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 360 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 642355.4
If we subtract 348 from 360, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
87 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 642355.41
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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 330 3 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 642355.413
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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 690 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 81.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 642355.4137
If we subtract 609 from 690, we get 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 87 fits into 810 9 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 642355.41379
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 783 from 810.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 270 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 642355.413793
If we subtract 261 from 270, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
If we divide 90 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 642355.4137931
If we take 87 away from 90, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 87 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 642355.4137931
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Our division results in 642355.4137931 with a remaining 3e-08.
