We look at the division of 491224 by 87 
We want to divide 491224 by 87.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 491 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 491 5 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 435 from 491, we get 56.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 562 / 87

Step 4:
If we divide 562 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 56.0
Subtracting 522 from 562 leaves us with 40.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 402 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 402 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 54.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 564.0
Subtract 348 from 402 to get 54.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 544 / 87

Step 6:
When dividing 544 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5646.0
Deduct 522 from 544 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
220 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 46.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5646.2
Subtracting 174 from 220 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
87 goes into 460 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5646.25
If we take 435 away from 460, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 250 2 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5646.252
Deduct 174 from 250 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
87 goes into 760 8 times with a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5646.2528
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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 640 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5646.25287
Subtract 609 from 640 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 310 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5646.252873
If we subtract 261 from 310, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
87 can be fit into 490 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5646.2528735
Subtract 435 from 490 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 550 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5646.25287356
If we take 522 away from 550, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5646.25287356 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
