We divide 486261 by 13
Our goal is to divide 486261 by 13.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 13, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 13

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 13 fits into 48 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 39 from 48 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 96 / 13

Moving on to step 3:
13 can be fit into 96 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we subtract 91 from 96, we get 5.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 52 / 13

Going ahead to step 4:
13 can be fit into 52 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 374.0
Subtracting 52 from 52 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 6 / 13

Going ahead to step 5:
13 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3740.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 61 / 13

Moving on to step 6:
61 divided by 13 is 4 with a remainder of 9.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37404.0
If we take 52 away from 61, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
13 goes into 90 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37404.6
Subtract 78 from 90 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
13 can be fit into 120 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37404.69
Subtract 117 from 120 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 30 by 13, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 37404.692
Subtract 26 from 30 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 13 fits into 40 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37404.6923
Subtract 39 from 40 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
13 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37404.6923
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
100 divided by 13 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37404.692307
Subtract 91 from 100 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 13 fits into 90 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37404.6923076
Deduct 78 from 90 and we're left 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 14:
The number 13 fits into 120 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 37404.69230769
Subtracting 117 from 120 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 37404.69230769 with a balance of 3e-09.
