We divide 476257 by 87
Our goal is to divide 476257 by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 87 is 0 with 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.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 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
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 476 / 87

Step 3:
When dividing 476 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 435 from 476 to get 41.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 412 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 412 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 348 from 412.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 645 / 87

On to step 5:
87 goes into 645 7 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 547.0
If we take 609 away from 645, we end up with 36.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 367 / 87

On to step 6:
When dividing 367 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 19.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5474.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 348 from 367.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 190 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5474.2
If we take 174 away from 190, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
160 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 73.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5474.21
Deduct 87 from 160 and we're left with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 730 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5474.218
Subtracting 696 from 730 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 340 3 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5474.2183
If we take 261 away from 340, we end up with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 790 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5474.21839
Deduct 783 from 790 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 12:
87 goes into 70 0 times with a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5474.21839
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 0 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
87 can be fit into 700 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5474.2183908
If we subtract 696 from 700, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
87 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5474.2183908
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 5474.2183908, and the remainder is 4e-08.
