We divide 1496547 by 486
Our goal is to divide 1496547 by 486.

Step 1:
486 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 486

Going ahead to step 2:
14 divided by 486 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 149 / 486

Moving on to step 3:
The number 486 fits into 149 0 times, leaving a remainder of 149.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 149 leaves us with 149.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 149 and repeat the process: 1496 / 486

On to step 4:
486 can be fit into 1496 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 1458 away from 1496, we end up with 38.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 385 / 486

Advancing to step 5:
385 divided by 486 is 0 with a remainder of 385.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we take 0 away from 385, we end up with 385.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 385, then repeat: 3854 / 486

Advancing to step 6:
The number 486 fits into 3854 7 times, leaving a remainder of 452.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 307.0
If we subtract 3402 from 3854, we get 452.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 452 and repeat the process: 4527 / 486

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 4527 by 486, we get 9 with a remainder of 153.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3079.0
The remainder is 153 after subtracting 4374 from 4527.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1530, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
1530 divided by 486 is 3 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3079.3
Subtracting 1458 from 1530 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 720 by 486, we get 1 with a remainder of 234.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3079.31
If we subtract 486 from 720, we get 234.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2340, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 2340 by 486, we get 4 and a remainder of 396.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3079.314
Deduct 1944 from 2340 and we're left with 396.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3960, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 3960 by 486, we get 8 and a remainder of 72.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3079.3148
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 3888 from 3960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
720 divided by 486 is 1 with a remainder of 234.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3079.31481
If we subtract 486 from 720, we get 234.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 2340 by 486, we get 4 with a remainder of 396.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3079.314814
Subtract 1944 from 2340 to get 396.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3960, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
3960 divided by 486 is 8 with a remainder of 72.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3079.3148148
Subtracting 3888 from 3960 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 720 by 486, we get 1 with a remainder of 234.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3079.31481481
If we take 486 away from 720, we end up with 234.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2340, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3079.31481481 with a balance of 2.34e-07.
