Let's divide 478529 by 86
We're looking to find how many times 86 goes into 478529.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 86, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 86

On to step 2:
86 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 47 and we're left with 47.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 478 / 86

Advancing to step 3:
86 goes into 478 5 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 430 from 478, we get 48.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 485 / 86

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 86 fits into 485 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtract 430 from 485 to get 55.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 552 / 86

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 86 fits into 552 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 556.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 516 from 552.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 369 / 86

Step 6:
86 can be fit into 369 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5564.0
If we subtract 344 from 369, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 250 by 86, we get 2 with a remainder of 78.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5564.2
Deduct 172 from 250 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 780 by 86, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5564.29
Deduct 774 from 780 and we're left 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 9:
86 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5564.29
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
86 can be fit into 600 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5564.2906
If we take 516 away from 600, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 840 by 86, we get 9 and a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5564.29069
Subtract 774 from 840 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 660 by 86, we get 7 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5564.290697
Subtract 602 from 660 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
580 divided by 86 is 6 with a remainder of 64.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5564.2906976
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 516 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 640 by 86, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5564.29069767
If we subtract 602 from 640, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5564.29069767 and a remainder of 3.8e-08.
