Let's divide 498797 by 87
Our goal is to divide 498797 by 87.

Going ahead 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
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 87

On to step 2:
87 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 498 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 498 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 63.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 435 from 498 leaves us with 63.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 63 and continue: 637 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 637 7 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we take 609 away from 637, we end up with 28.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 289 / 87

Step 5:
The number 87 fits into 289 3 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 573.0
Subtract 261 from 289 to get 28.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 287 / 87

On to step 6:
When dividing 287 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5733.0
If we subtract 261 from 287, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
260 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 86.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5733.2
Deduct 174 from 260 and we're left with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 860 9 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5733.29
If we subtract 783 from 860, we get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
87 can be fit into 770 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5733.298
Subtract 696 from 770 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 740 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5733.2988
Subtracting 696 from 740 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The final result is 5733.2988 with a remainder of 0.00044.
