Let's divide 518871 by 87
Let's see how many times 87 fits into 518871.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 51 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 51 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 51, we get 51.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 518 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 518 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 83.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 83 after subtracting 435 from 518.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 83, then carry on: 838 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
87 goes into 838 9 times with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we subtract 783 from 838, we get 55.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 557 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 557 6 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 596.0
Subtracting 522 from 557 leaves us with 35.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 351 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
351 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 3.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5964.0
Subtracting 348 from 351 leaves us 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 7:
87 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5964.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
300 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 39.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5964.03
If we subtract 261 from 300, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 9:
390 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 42.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5964.034
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 348 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 420 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5964.0344
If we take 348 away from 420, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 5964.0344, with a leftover of 0.00072.
