We divide 480311 by 87
Our goal is to divide 480311 by 87.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 87

Step 2:
48 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 480 / 87

Step 3:
When dividing 480 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 435 away from 480, we end up with 45.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 453 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
87 goes into 453 5 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Deduct 435 from 453 and we're left with 18.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 181 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
87 goes into 181 2 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 552.0
If we take 174 away from 181, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 71 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
87 can be fit into 71 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5520.0
Deduct 0 from 71 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Step 7:
87 goes into 710 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5520.8
If we subtract 696 from 710, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 140 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 53.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5520.81
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 87 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
87 goes into 530 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5520.816
Subtracting 522 from 530 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
87 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5520.816
If we subtract 0 from 80, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 800 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5520.81609
Subtracting 783 from 800 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
170 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 83.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5520.816091
Subtract 87 from 170 to get 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Step 13:
87 goes into 830 9 times with a remainder of 47.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5520.8160919
Subtract 783 from 830 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 470 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5520.81609195
Subtracting 435 from 470 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

The final result is 5520.81609195 with a remainder of 3.5e-08.
