Let's divide 545131 by 87
Our goal is to divide 545131 by 87.

Step 1:
5 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
87 goes into 54 0 times with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 54 to get 54.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 545 / 87

Step 3:
The number 87 fits into 545 6 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 522 from 545 and we're left with 23.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 231 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
87 can be fit into 231 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62.0
Deduct 174 from 231 and we're left with 57.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 57, then repeat: 573 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 573 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 51.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 626.0
If we take 522 away from 573, we end up with 51.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 511 / 87

On to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 511 5 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6265.0
Deduct 435 from 511 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
87 can be fit into 760 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6265.8
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.

Step 8:
87 goes into 640 7 times with a remainder of 31.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6265.87
If we take 609 away from 640, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 310 3 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6265.873
If we take 261 away from 310, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 490 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6265.8735
Subtract 435 from 490 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 550 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6265.87356
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 522 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 12:
280 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6265.873563
Subtracting 261 from 280 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
87 goes into 190 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6265.8735632
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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 160 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 73.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6265.87356321
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 87 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

The final result is 6265.87356321 with a remainder of 7.3e-08.
