We look at the division of 488376 by 97 
We want to divide 488376 by 97.

Step 1:
The number 97 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 97

Let's proceed to step 2:
97 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 488 / 97

Step 3:
The number 97 fits into 488 5 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 485 from 488.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 33 / 97

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 33 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 0 from 33.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 337 / 97

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 97 fits into 337 3 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 503.0
Subtract 291 from 337 to get 46.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 466 / 97

Step 6:
When dividing 466 by 97, we get 4 with a remainder of 78.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5034.0
If we subtract 388 from 466, we get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 780 by 97, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5034.8
Subtract 776 from 780 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 8:
When dividing 40 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5034.8
Subtract 0 from 40 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
97 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5034.804
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 388 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 10:
120 divided by 97 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5034.8041
Deduct 97 from 120 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
230 divided by 97 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5034.80412
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 194 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
97 can be fit into 360 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5034.804123
Subtract 291 from 360 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 690 by 97, we get 7 with a remainder of 11.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5034.8041237
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 679 from 690.
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 14:
97 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5034.80412371
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 97 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The final result is 5034.80412371 with a remainder of 1.3e-08.
