473079 ÷ 87 
Our goal is to divide 473079 by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
87 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 87

Step 2:
The number 87 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 473 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 473 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 435 from 473 and we're left with 38.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 380 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 380 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtracting 348 from 380 leaves us with 32.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 327 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 327 3 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 543.0
If we subtract 261 from 327, we get 66.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 66, then repeat: 669 / 87

On to step 6:
87 goes into 669 7 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5437.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 609 from 669.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 600 6 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5437.6
Deduct 522 from 600 and we're left with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
87 can be fit into 780 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5437.68
Deduct 696 from 780 and we're left with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
87 can be fit into 840 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5437.689
If we subtract 783 from 840, we get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
87 can be fit into 570 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5437.6896
Subtract 522 from 570 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 480 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5437.68965
If we subtract 435 from 480, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 450 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5437.689655
Deduct 435 from 450 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5437.689655 and a remainder of 1.5e-06.
