Let's divide 559957 by 87
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 559957.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 55 and we're left with 55.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 559 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
559 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 37.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 522 from 559 to get 37.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 379 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
379 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 31.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 64.0
Deduct 348 from 379 and we're left with 31.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 315 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
87 can be fit into 315 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 643.0
If we subtract 261 from 315, we get 54.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 547 / 87

Step 6:
87 can be fit into 547 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6436.0
Deduct 522 from 547 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 7:
87 goes into 250 2 times with a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6436.2
Deduct 174 from 250 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 760 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6436.28
Deduct 696 from 760 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
87 can be fit into 640 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6436.287
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 609 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
310 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 49.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6436.2873
If we subtract 261 from 310, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
490 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6436.28735
If we take 435 away from 490, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
87 can be fit into 550 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6436.287356
Subtract 522 from 550 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
87 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6436.2873563
Deduct 261 from 280 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
190 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6436.28735632
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 174 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6436.28735632 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
