We divide 488521 by 83
Our goal is to divide 488521 by 83.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 83, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 83

Step 2:
48 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 488 / 83

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 488 by 83, we get 5 and a remainder of 73.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 415 from 488.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 73, then repeat: 735 / 83

Moving on to step 4:
735 divided by 83 is 8 with a remainder of 71.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtracting 664 from 735 leaves us with 71.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 712 / 83

On to step 5:
If we divide 712 by 83, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 588.0
Subtract 664 from 712 to get 48.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 481 / 83

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 481 by 83, we get 5 with a remainder of 66.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5885.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 415 from 481.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 660 by 83, we get 7 and a remainder of 79.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5885.7
The remainder is 79 after subtracting 581 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Step 8:
790 divided by 83 is 9 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5885.79
If we subtract 747 from 790, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
83 goes into 430 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5885.795
If we subtract 415 from 430, 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 150 by 83, we get 1 and a remainder of 67.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5885.7951
If we subtract 83 from 150, we get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
83 can be fit into 670 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5885.79518
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 664 from 670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 12:
83 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5885.79518
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 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 13:
The number 83 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5885.7951807
Deduct 581 from 600 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 83 fits into 190 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5885.79518072
Deduct 166 from 190 and we're left 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.

The final outcome is 5885.79518072, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
