508538 divided by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 508538 can be divided by 87.

On to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 50 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
50 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 508 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 508 5 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 435 away from 508, we end up with 73.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 735 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 735 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 39.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 696 from 735.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 393 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 393 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 584.0
Subtract 348 from 393 to get 45.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 458 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 458 5 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5845.0
Subtracting 435 from 458 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 230 2 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5845.2
If we take 174 away from 230, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 87 fits into 560 6 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5845.26
Deduct 522 from 560 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5845.264
Subtracting 348 from 380 leaves us 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 10:
87 goes into 320 3 times with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5845.2643
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 590 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 68.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5845.26436
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.

Step 12:
87 can be fit into 680 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5845.264367
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 609 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
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: 5845.2643678
Subtracting 696 from 710 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 87 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5845.26436781
If we subtract 87 from 140, we 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.

The final result is 5845.26436781 with a remainder of 5.3e-08.
