488493 divided by 97 
We want to divide 488493 by 97.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 97 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 97

Advancing to step 2:
97 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 488 / 97

Advancing to step 3:
The number 97 fits into 488 5 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 485 from 488, we get 3.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 34 / 97

On to step 4:
97 goes into 34 0 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 0 from 34.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 349 / 97

On to step 5:
349 divided by 97 is 3 with a remainder of 58.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 503.0
Subtracting 291 from 349 leaves us with 58.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 583 / 97

Moving on to step 6:
The number 97 fits into 583 6 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5036.0
If we take 582 away from 583, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 10 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5036.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
100 divided by 97 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5036.01
If we take 97 away from 100, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 30 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5036.01
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
97 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5036.0103
Subtract 291 from 300 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 90 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 90.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5036.0103
The remainder is 90 after subtracting 0 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 900 by 97, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5036.010309
Deduct 873 from 900 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
97 can be fit into 270 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5036.0103092
If we take 194 away from 270, we end up with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
97 goes into 760 7 times with a remainder of 81.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5036.01030927
Subtract 679 from 760 to get 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5036.01030927, and the remainder is 8.1e-08.
