Let's divide 460721 by 87
We want to divide 460721 by 87.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 87

On to step 2:
46 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 46.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 46 to get 46.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 460 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 460 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 435 from 460 and we're left with 25.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 257 / 87

On to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 257 2 times, leaving a remainder of 83.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 52.0
Deduct 174 from 257 and we're left with 83.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 83 and repeat the process: 832 / 87

Step 5:
87 can be fit into 832 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 529.0
Deduct 783 from 832 and we're left with 49.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 491 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
87 goes into 491 5 times with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5295.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 435 from 491.
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 7:
560 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 38.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5295.6
If we take 522 away from 560, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 87 fits into 380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5295.64
Deduct 348 from 380 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
87 can be fit into 320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5295.643
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 261 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 590 6 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5295.6436
If we subtract 522 from 590, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
87 can be fit into 680 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5295.64367
Deduct 609 from 680 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 710 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5295.643678
If we subtract 696 from 710, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
87 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5295.6436781
Subtract 87 from 140 to get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
87 goes into 530 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5295.64367816
Deduct 522 from 530 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5295.64367816, and the remainder is 8e-09.
