422879 divided by 87 
We want to divide 422879 by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
87 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 87

On to step 2:
42 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 422 / 87

Step 3:
If we divide 422 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 348 from 422 and we're left with 74.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 748 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 748 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 52.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we take 696 away from 748, we end up with 52.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 527 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
87 goes into 527 6 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 486.0
If we subtract 522 from 527, we get 5.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 59 / 87

On to step 6:
59 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4860.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 0 from 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
590 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 68.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4860.6
If we take 522 away from 590, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 680 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4860.67
Subtracting 609 from 680 leaves us 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 9:
If we divide 710 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4860.678
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.

Moving on to step 10:
140 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 53.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4860.6781
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 11:
When dividing 530 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4860.67816
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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4860.67816
Subtracting 0 from 80 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
87 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4860.6781609
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
170 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 83.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4860.67816091
If we subtract 87 from 170, we 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.

The quotient of the division is 4860.67816091, and the remainder is 8.3e-08.
