478870 divided by 60 
Our goal is to divide 478870 by 60.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 60 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 60

On to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 60, we get 0 and a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 47, we get 47.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 478 / 60

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 478 by 60, we get 7 with a remainder of 58.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 420 from 478, we get 58.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 588 / 60

Let's proceed to step 4:
588 divided by 60 is 9 with a remainder of 48.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 79.0
Subtract 540 from 588 to get 48.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 487 / 60

Let's proceed to step 5:
60 goes into 487 8 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 798.0
Deduct 480 from 487 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 70 / 60

Let's proceed to step 6:
60 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7981.0
Subtracting 60 from 70 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 100 by 60, we get 1 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7981.1
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 60 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 60 fits into 400 6 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7981.16
If we take 360 away from 400, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 60, we get 6 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7981.166
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7981.166, and the remainder is 0.004.
