492471 divided by 87 
We want to divide 492471 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
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 492 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 492 5 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 435 from 492 and we're left with 57.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 574 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
87 goes into 574 6 times with a remainder of 52.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 522 from 574.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 527 / 87

On to step 5:
If we divide 527 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 566.0
If we subtract 522 from 527, we get 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 51 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 51.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5660.0
If we take 0 away from 51, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 510 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5660.5
If we subtract 435 from 510, we get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 8:
87 goes into 750 8 times with a remainder of 54.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5660.58
Subtracting 696 from 750 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 540 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5660.586
Deduct 522 from 540 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5660.5862
Deduct 174 from 180 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 60 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5660.5862
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
600 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 78.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5660.586206
Subtract 522 from 600 to get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
87 goes into 780 8 times with a remainder of 84.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5660.5862068
If we subtract 696 from 780, we get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 840 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5660.58620689
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.

After the division, we end up with 5660.58620689 and a remainder of 5.7e-08.
