548868 ÷ 87 
Our goal is to divide 548868 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
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 87

On to step 2:
87 can be fit into 54 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 54 to get 54.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 548 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
87 can be fit into 548 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 522 away from 548, we end up with 26.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 268 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
87 can be fit into 268 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 63.0
Subtract 261 from 268 to get 7.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 76 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 76 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 76.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 630.0
Subtracting 0 from 76 leaves us with 76.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 76, then carry on: 768 / 87

On to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 768 8 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6308.0
If we take 696 away from 768, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
87 goes into 720 8 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6308.8
If we take 696 away from 720, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 87 fits into 240 2 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6308.82
Deduct 174 from 240 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 660 7 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6308.827
If we subtract 609 from 660, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
87 goes into 510 5 times with a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6308.8275
Subtracting 435 from 510 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
750 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6308.82758
If we take 696 away from 750, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
87 can be fit into 540 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6308.827586
If we subtract 522 from 540, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6308.8275862
If we take 174 away from 180, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
87 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6308.8275862
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.

Our division results in 6308.8275862 with a remaining 6e-08.
