477288 divided by 87 
Our goal is to divide 477288 by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
87 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
87 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 47 and we're left with 47.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 477 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
87 goes into 477 5 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 435 from 477 to get 42.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 422 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
87 goes into 422 4 times with a remainder of 74.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtract 348 from 422 to get 74.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 74 and repeat the process: 748 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
87 can be fit into 748 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 548.0
Subtracting 696 from 748 leaves us with 52.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 528 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
87 goes into 528 6 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5486.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 522 from 528.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 60 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5486.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 600 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 78.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5486.06
The remainder is 78 after subtracting 522 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
87 can be fit into 780 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5486.068
Subtract 696 from 780 to get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 840 9 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5486.0689
If we take 783 away from 840, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 570 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5486.06896
If we subtract 522 from 570, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5486.068965
Subtract 435 from 480 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
87 goes into 450 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5486.0689655
If we subtract 435 from 450, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final result is 5486.0689655 with a remainder of 1.5e-07.
