494688 divided by 87 
We want to divide 494688 by 87.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 87

On to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 494 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
87 can be fit into 494 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 435 from 494 leaves us with 59.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 596 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 596 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 74.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
Deduct 522 from 596 and we're left with 74.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 74, then carry on: 748 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 748 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 568.0
Subtracting 696 from 748 leaves us with 52.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 528 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
87 can be fit into 528 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5686.0
Subtract 522 from 528 to get 6.
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:
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: 5686.0
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
87 goes into 600 6 times with a remainder of 78.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5686.06
Subtract 522 from 600 to get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

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: 5686.068
Deduct 696 from 780 and we're left with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 840 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5686.0689
Deduct 783 from 840 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 570 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5686.06896
Deduct 522 from 570 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 480 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5686.068965
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 435 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 450 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5686.0689655
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 outcome is 5686.0689655, with a leftover of 1.5e-07.
