437542 divided by 87 
We want to divide 437542 by 87.

On to step 1:
87 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 43 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 43 0 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 43 to get 43.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 437 / 87

Step 3:
87 goes into 437 5 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 435 from 437 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
87 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 254 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
254 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 80.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 502.0
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 174 from 254.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 80 and repeat the process: 802 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
87 goes into 802 9 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5029.0
Subtracting 783 from 802 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 190 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5029.2
If we take 174 away from 190, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 73.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5029.21
If we subtract 87 from 160, we get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
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: 5029.218
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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 340 3 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5029.2183
If we subtract 261 from 340, we get 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 11:
790 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5029.21839
Subtract 783 from 790 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
70 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5029.21839
If we subtract 0 from 70, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 700 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5029.2183908
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 40 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5029.2183908
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5029.2183908, and the remainder is 4e-08.
