Let's divide 488951 by 97
Our goal is to divide 488951 by 97.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 97

Advancing to step 2:
The number 97 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 488 / 97

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 488 by 97, we get 5 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 485 from 488 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 39 / 97

Advancing to step 4:
97 can be fit into 39 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtracting 0 from 39 leaves us with 39.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 395 / 97

Step 5:
97 can be fit into 395 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 504.0
Deduct 388 from 395 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 97

Advancing to step 6:
97 can be fit into 71 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5040.0
Subtract 0 from 71 to get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
97 can be fit into 710 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5040.7
If we subtract 679 from 710, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 310 by 97, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5040.73
If we take 291 away from 310, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
190 divided by 97 is 1 with a remainder of 93.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5040.731
If we take 97 away from 190, we end up with 93.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 97 fits into 930 9 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5040.7319
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 873 from 930.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
97 can be fit into 570 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5040.73195
Subtracting 485 from 570 leaves us with 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
850 divided by 97 is 8 with a remainder of 74.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5040.731958
If we take 776 away from 850, we end up with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 97 fits into 740 7 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5040.7319587
Subtract 679 from 740 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 610 by 97, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5040.73195876
Deduct 582 from 610 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5040.73195876 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
