We divide 488298 by 61
We want to figure out the number of times 488298 can be divided by 61.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 61, we get 0 and 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.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 61

Step 2:
48 divided by 61 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 488 / 61

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 488 by 61, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 488 from 488 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 2 / 61

Moving on to step 4:
2 divided by 61 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 80.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 61

Moving on to step 5:
29 divided by 61 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 800.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 298 / 61

Moving on to step 6:
61 goes into 298 4 times with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8004.0
If we subtract 244 from 298, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 540 by 61, we get 8 with a remainder of 52.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8004.8
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 488 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 61 fits into 520 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8004.88
Subtract 488 from 520 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.

After the division, we end up with 8004.88 and a remainder of 0.032.
