We're dividing 488480 by 70 
We want to divide 488480 by 70.

On to step 1:
The number 70 fits into 4 0 times, leaving 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.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 70

Let's proceed to step 2:
70 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 488 / 70

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 70 fits into 488 6 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 420 from 488 to get 68.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 68, then carry on: 684 / 70

Step 4:
The number 70 fits into 684 9 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 69.0
Subtract 630 from 684 to get 54.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 548 / 70

Step 5:
If we divide 548 by 70, we get 7 and a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 697.0
Deduct 490 from 548 and we're left with 58.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 580 / 70

On to step 6:
70 can be fit into 580 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6978.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 560 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
70 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6978.2
Subtract 140 from 200 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
70 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6978.28
If we subtract 560 from 600, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
70 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6978.285
If we subtract 350 from 400, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
70 can be fit into 500 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6978.2857
Subtracting 490 from 500 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
70 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6978.28571
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 70 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
300 divided by 70 is 4 with a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6978.285714
Subtract 280 from 300 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 200 by 70, we get 2 with a remainder of 60.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6978.2857142
If we subtract 140 from 200, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 14:
70 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6978.28571428
Subtract 560 from 600 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6978.28571428 with a remaining 4e-08.
