437967 ÷ 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 437967 can be divided by 87.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 43 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 43 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 43 and we're left with 43.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 437 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
437 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 435 from 437 to get 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 29 0 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
Deduct 0 from 29 and we're left with 29.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 296 / 87

Step 5:
When dividing 296 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 503.0
If we subtract 261 from 296, we get 35.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 357 / 87

On to step 6:
87 goes into 357 4 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5034.0
If we subtract 348 from 357, 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 90 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5034.1
Deduct 87 from 90 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 30 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5034.1
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 9:
87 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5034.103
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 261 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
87 goes into 390 4 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5034.1034
Deduct 348 from 390 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 420 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 72.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5034.10344
Subtracting 348 from 420 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5034.10344 and a remainder of 7.2e-05.
