We look at the division of 747478 by 488 
We're looking to find how many times 488 goes into 747478.

Advancing to step 1:
488 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 488

Step 2:
The number 488 fits into 74 0 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 74, we end up with 74.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 747 / 488

Moving on to step 3:
488 can be fit into 747 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 259.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 488 from 747 and we're left with 259.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 259, then repeat: 2594 / 488

Moving on to step 4:
488 can be fit into 2594 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 154.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 2440 from 2594 to get 154.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 154, then carry on: 1547 / 488

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 1547 by 488, we get 3 with a remainder of 83.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 153.0
Deduct 1464 from 1547 and we're left with 83.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 83, then repeat: 838 / 488

On to step 6:
838 divided by 488 is 1 with a remainder of 350.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1531.0
Subtract 488 from 838 to get 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3500, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 3500 by 488, we get 7 with a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1531.7
Deduct 3416 from 3500 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
The number 488 fits into 840 1 times, leaving a remainder of 352.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1531.71
Subtract 488 from 840 to get 352.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3520, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
488 goes into 3520 7 times with a remainder of 104.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1531.717
Subtract 3416 from 3520 to get 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
488 can be fit into 1040 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1531.7172
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 976 from 1040.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 640 by 488, we get 1 and a remainder of 152.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1531.71721
The remainder is 152 after subtracting 488 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 1520 by 488, we get 3 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1531.717213
Subtract 1464 from 1520 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 488 fits into 560 1 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1531.7172131
Subtract 488 from 560 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 720 by 488, we get 1 and a remainder of 232.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1531.71721311
If we subtract 488 from 720, we get 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

The final result is 1531.71721311 with a remainder of 2.32e-07.
