Let's divide 488056 by 83
We want to figure out the number of times 488056 can be divided by 83.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 83

Moving on to step 2:
83 goes into 48 0 times 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.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 488 / 83

On to step 3:
83 can be fit into 488 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 415 from 488 to get 73.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 73 and continue: 730 / 83

Let's proceed to step 4:
83 can be fit into 730 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtract 664 from 730 to get 66.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 66, then repeat: 665 / 83

Moving on to step 5:
The number 83 fits into 665 8 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 588.0
Subtracting 664 from 665 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 83

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 16 by 83, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5880.0
If we subtract 0 from 16, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 7:
83 can be fit into 160 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5880.1
Subtract 83 from 160 to get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Step 8:
83 can be fit into 770 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5880.19
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 747 from 770.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
230 divided by 83 is 2 with a remainder of 64.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5880.192
Deduct 166 from 230 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
640 divided by 83 is 7 with a remainder of 59.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5880.1927
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 581 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 590 by 83, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5880.19277
Subtract 581 from 590 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.

Our division results in 5880.19277 with a remaining 9e-06.
