Let's divide 486231 by 57
We want to divide 486231 by 57.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 57, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 57

On to step 2:
48 divided by 57 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 486 / 57

Going ahead to step 3:
486 divided by 57 is 8 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 456 from 486 leaves us with 30.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 302 / 57

Step 4:
57 goes into 302 5 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtract 285 from 302 to get 17.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 173 / 57

On to step 5:
When dividing 173 by 57, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 853.0
If we subtract 171 from 173, we get 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 57

Going ahead to step 6:
21 divided by 57 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8530.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
57 goes into 210 3 times with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8530.3
Deduct 171 from 210 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
390 divided by 57 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8530.36
If we take 342 away from 390, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 57 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8530.368
Subtracting 456 from 480 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 57, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8530.3684
If we take 228 away from 240, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
57 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8530.36842
Subtracting 114 from 120 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
60 divided by 57 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8530.368421
If we take 57 away from 60, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 30 by 57, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8530.368421
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 57 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8530.36842105
If we take 285 away from 300, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8530.36842105 and a remainder of 1.5e-08.
