Let's divide 485501 by 57
We want to divide 485501 by 57.

On to step 1:
57 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 57

Step 2:
48 divided by 57 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 485 / 57

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 485 by 57, we get 8 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 456 from 485 to get 29.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 295 / 57

Step 4:
57 goes into 295 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtracting 285 from 295 leaves us with 10.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 100 / 57

Step 5:
The number 57 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 851.0
Subtracting 57 from 100 leaves us with 43.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 431 / 57

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 431 by 57, we get 7 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8517.0
Subtracting 399 from 431 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
320 divided by 57 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8517.5
Deduct 285 from 320 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
350 divided by 57 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8517.56
Subtract 342 from 350 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 57 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8517.561
Deduct 57 from 80 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 230 by 57, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8517.5614
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 228 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
20 divided by 57 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8517.5614
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
57 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8517.561403
If we subtract 171 from 200, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
57 can be fit into 290 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8517.5614035
Subtracting 285 from 290 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
57 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8517.5614035
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The final result is 8517.5614035 with a remainder of 5e-08.
