481472 ÷ 1 
Our goal is to divide 481472 by 1.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 1 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 1

Advancing to step 2:
8 divided by 1 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we take 8 away from 8, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 1 / 1

On to step 3:
1 goes into 1 1 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 481.0
If we subtract 1 from 1, we get 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 1

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 4 by 1, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4814.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 1

Step 5:
If we divide 7 by 1, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48147.0
Subtract 7 from 7 to get 0.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 2 / 1

Moving on to step 6:
2 divided by 1 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 481472.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 2 from 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 7:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 481472.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 1 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 481472.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 481472.0 with a balance of 0.0.
