We divide 480263 by 87
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 480263.

Let's proceed to step 1:
87 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 87

On to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 480 / 87

Step 3:
When dividing 480 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 435 from 480 and we're left with 45.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 452 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 452 5 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 435 from 452.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 176 / 87

On to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 176 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 552.0
If we subtract 174 from 176, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
87 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5520.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
230 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5520.2
Deduct 174 from 230 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 560 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5520.26
If we take 522 away from 560, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5520.264
If we subtract 348 from 380, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5520.2643
Subtract 261 from 320 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
590 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 68.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5520.26436
Subtracting 522 from 590 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 680 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 71.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5520.264367
Deduct 609 from 680 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
710 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5520.2643678
Subtract 696 from 710 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 87 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5520.26436781
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 87 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5520.26436781, with a leftover of 5.3e-08.
