We divide 488602 by 85
We want to divide 488602 by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 85 is 0 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 / 85

On to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 488 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
85 can be fit into 488 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 425 from 488 and we're left with 63.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 636 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
636 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtract 595 from 636 to get 41.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 410 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
410 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 70.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 574.0
If we take 340 away from 410, we end up with 70.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 70 and continue with: 702 / 85

Step 6:
When dividing 702 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5748.0
If we take 680 away from 702, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 220 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5748.2
Subtracting 170 from 220 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
85 can be fit into 500 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5748.25
Deduct 425 from 500 and we're left with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 9:
750 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5748.258
Subtracting 680 from 750 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
85 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5748.2588
Subtracting 680 from 700 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5748.2588 with a balance of 0.0002.
