We're dividing 487721 by 89 
Our goal is to divide 487721 by 89.

Let's proceed to step 1:
89 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 89

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 89, we get 0 with a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 487 / 89

Moving on to step 3:
487 divided by 89 is 5 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 445 from 487 to get 42.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 427 / 89

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 427 by 89, we get 4 with a remainder of 71.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we subtract 356 from 427, we get 71.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 71, then repeat: 712 / 89

On to step 5:
The number 89 fits into 712 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 548.0
Subtract 712 from 712 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 1 / 89

Moving on to step 6:
The number 89 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5480.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
89 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5480.0
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.

Advancing to step 8:
100 divided by 89 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5480.01
Deduct 89 from 100 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
89 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5480.011
If we take 89 away from 110, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5480.011 with a balance of 0.0021.
