462508 ÷ 87 
Our goal is to divide 462508 by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
87 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 46 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 46.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 0 from 46.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 462 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
87 can be fit into 462 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 435 from 462, we get 27.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 275 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
275 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 14.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we take 261 away from 275, we end up with 14.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 140 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
140 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 531.0
Subtracting 87 from 140 leaves us with 53.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 538 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 538 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5316.0
Subtract 522 from 538 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 160 1 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5316.1
Deduct 87 from 160 and we're left with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
87 goes into 730 8 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5316.18
Subtract 696 from 730 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 340 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 79.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5316.183
Subtracting 261 from 340 leaves us with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 790 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5316.1839
Deduct 783 from 790 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
87 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5316.1839
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
87 can be fit into 700 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5316.183908
Subtracting 696 from 700 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
87 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5316.183908
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
87 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5316.18390804
Deduct 348 from 400 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

The final result is 5316.18390804 with a remainder of 5.2e-08.
