We look at the division of 507714 by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 507714 can be divided by 87.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
87 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 507 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 507 5 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 435 from 507 leaves us with 72.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 727 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
727 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 31.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtracting 696 from 727 leaves us with 31.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 311 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 311 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 583.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 261 from 311.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 504 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 504 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 69.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5835.0
Deduct 435 from 504 and we're left with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
87 can be fit into 690 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 81.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5835.7
Subtracting 609 from 690 leaves us with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
87 can be fit into 810 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5835.79
If we take 783 away from 810, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 270 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5835.793
Subtracting 261 from 270 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5835.7931
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 87 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5835.7931
Subtract 0 from 30 to 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.

Advancing to step 12:
300 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 39.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5835.793103
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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 390 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5835.7931034
If we subtract 348 from 390, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
420 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 72.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5835.79310344
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 348 from 420.
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 result is 5835.79310344 with a remainder of 7.2e-08.
