Let's divide 42897843 by 488
We're looking to find how many times 488 goes into 42897843.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 488 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 488

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 488, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 428 / 488

On to step 3:
488 can be fit into 428 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 428.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 428 and we're left with 428.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 428, then repeat: 4289 / 488

Advancing to step 4:
488 goes into 4289 8 times with a remainder of 385.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 385 after subtracting 3904 from 4289.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 385 and continue with: 3857 / 488

Moving on to step 5:
488 goes into 3857 7 times with a remainder of 441.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 87.0
Deduct 3416 from 3857 and we're left with 441.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 441, then carry on: 4418 / 488

Going ahead to step 6:
4418 divided by 488 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 879.0
Subtracting 4392 from 4418 leaves us with 26.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 264 / 488

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 264 by 488, we get 0 with a remainder of 264.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8790.0
The remainder is 264 after subtracting 0 from 264.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 264, then repeat: 2643 / 488

Let's proceed to step 8:
2643 divided by 488 is 5 with a remainder of 203.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 87905.0
Subtract 2440 from 2643 to get 203.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2030, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 488 fits into 2030 4 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 87905.4
If we take 1952 away from 2030, we end up with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
488 can be fit into 780 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 292.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 87905.41
Subtracting 488 from 780 leaves us with 292.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
488 can be fit into 2920 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 480.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 87905.415
If we take 2440 away from 2920, we end up with 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 488 fits into 4800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 408.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 87905.4159
If we take 4392 away from 4800, we end up with 408.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
4080 divided by 488 is 8 with a remainder of 176.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 87905.41598
Deduct 3904 from 4080 and we're left with 176.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
1760 divided by 488 is 3 with a remainder of 296.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 87905.415983
If we take 1464 away from 1760, we end up with 296.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2960, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
488 can be fit into 2960 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 87905.4159836
Subtract 2928 from 2960 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 488 fits into 320 0 times, leaving a remainder of 320.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 87905.4159836
If we take 0 away from 320, we end up with 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3200, and continue the process.

The final result is 87905.4159836 with a remainder of 3.2e-07.
