472529 divided by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 472529 can be divided by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
47 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 47, we get 47.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 472 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 472 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 435 away from 472, we end up with 37.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 375 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 375 4 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 54.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 348 from 375.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 272 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
87 goes into 272 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 543.0
If we take 261 away from 272, we end up with 11.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 119 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 119 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5431.0
Subtract 87 from 119 to 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.

On to step 7:
87 can be fit into 320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5431.3
Deduct 261 from 320 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 590 6 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5431.36
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 522 from 590.
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 9:
87 can be fit into 680 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5431.367
If we subtract 609 from 680, we get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 710 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5431.3678
Deduct 696 from 710 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 140 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 53.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5431.36781
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
530 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5431.367816
If we subtract 522 from 530, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
80 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5431.367816
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 800 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5431.36781609
Subtract 783 from 800 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5431.36781609, and the remainder is 1.7e-08.
