We divide 481140 by 87
Our goal is to divide 481140 by 87.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 87

Step 2:
If we divide 48 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 481 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
481 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 435 from 481, we get 46.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 461 / 87

Step 4:
The number 87 fits into 461 5 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtracting 435 from 461 leaves us with 26.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 264 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
87 can be fit into 264 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 553.0
Subtract 261 from 264 to get 3.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 30 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5530.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
300 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5530.3
Deduct 261 from 300 and we're left with 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 8:
If we divide 390 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5530.34
If we take 348 away from 390, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 420 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5530.344
Subtracting 348 from 420 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5530.344 with a balance of 0.0072.
