48281 ÷ 87 
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 48281.

On to step 1:
87 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 482 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 482 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 435 from 482 and we're left with 47.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 478 / 87

Step 4:
87 goes into 478 5 times with a remainder of 43.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 435 from 478.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 431 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
431 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 83.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 554.0
If we take 348 away from 431, we end up with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 830 9 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 554.9
Deduct 783 from 830 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 470 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 554.95
If we subtract 435 from 470, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 350 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 554.954
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 348 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
87 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 554.954
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 554.95402
Deduct 174 from 200 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
87 goes into 260 2 times with a remainder of 86.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 554.954022
Subtracting 174 from 260 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 554.954022 and a remainder of 8.6e-06.
