Let's divide 462184 by 87
We want to divide 462184 by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 46 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 46.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 46, we end up with 46.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 462 / 87

Step 3:
The number 87 fits into 462 5 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 435 from 462 and we're left with 27.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 271 / 87

On to step 4:
271 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
Deduct 261 from 271 and we're left with 10.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 108 / 87

On to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 108 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 531.0
Subtracting 87 from 108 leaves us with 21.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 214 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 214 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5312.0
Subtracting 174 from 214 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 400 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 52.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5312.4
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 348 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 520 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 85.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5312.45
If we take 435 away from 520, we end up with 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
850 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 67.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5312.459
Deduct 783 from 850 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 670 7 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5312.4597
Deduct 609 from 670 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 610 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5312.45977
Deduct 609 from 610 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5312.45977 with a remaining 1e-06.
