461635 ÷ 87 
We want to divide 461635 by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 46 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 46.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 46 to get 46.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 461 / 87

Step 3:
87 goes into 461 5 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 435 from 461 and we're left with 26.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 266 / 87

On to step 4:
87 can be fit into 266 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 53.0
Deduct 261 from 266 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 53 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
87 goes into 53 0 times with a remainder of 53.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 530.0
If we subtract 0 from 53, we get 53.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 535 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
87 can be fit into 535 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5306.0
If we subtract 522 from 535, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
87 goes into 130 1 times with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5306.1
Subtracting 87 from 130 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
87 goes into 430 4 times with a remainder of 82.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5306.14
The remainder is 82 after subtracting 348 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Step 9:
87 goes into 820 9 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5306.149
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 783 from 820.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 370 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5306.1494
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 348 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
87 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5306.14942
If we subtract 174 from 220, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
87 can be fit into 460 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5306.149425
Deduct 435 from 460 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 250 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5306.1494252
Subtracting 174 from 250 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
760 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5306.14942528
If we subtract 696 from 760, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The final result is 5306.14942528 with a remainder of 6.4e-08.
