Let's divide 479752 by 87
We want to divide 479752 by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
87 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 87

On to step 2:
87 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 47, we get 47.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 479 / 87

Step 3:
If we divide 479 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 44.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 435 from 479 and we're left with 44.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 447 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 447 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 435 from 447.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 125 / 87

On to step 5:
If we divide 125 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 551.0
Subtracting 87 from 125 leaves us with 38.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 382 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
87 goes into 382 4 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5514.0
Subtract 348 from 382 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 340 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 79.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5514.3
Subtract 261 from 340 to 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 790 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5514.39
If we take 783 away from 790, we end up with 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 9:
87 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5514.39
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 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 10:
If we divide 700 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5514.3908
Subtracting 696 from 700 leaves us 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 11:
The number 87 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5514.3908
Subtract 0 from 40 to 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.

Advancing to step 12:
400 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5514.390804
Deduct 348 from 400 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 520 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 85.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5514.3908045
Subtracting 435 from 520 leaves us with 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
87 can be fit into 850 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5514.39080459
Deduct 783 from 850 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5514.39080459, with a leftover of 6.7e-08.
