Let's divide 488972 by 63
We want to divide 488972 by 63.

On to step 1:
The number 63 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of 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 / 63

On to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 63, we get 0 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 488 / 63

Advancing to step 3:
63 can be fit into 488 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 441 from 488, we get 47.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 479 / 63

Advancing to step 4:
63 goes into 479 7 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 77.0
Subtracting 441 from 479 leaves us with 38.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 387 / 63

On to step 5:
If we divide 387 by 63, we get 6 and a remainder of 9.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 776.0
If we subtract 378 from 387, we get 9.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 92 / 63

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 63 fits into 92 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7761.0
If we take 63 away from 92, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 290 by 63, we get 4 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7761.4
If we subtract 252 from 290, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
63 goes into 380 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7761.46
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 20 by 63, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7761.46
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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 10:
The number 63 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7761.4603
Deduct 189 from 200 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
63 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7761.46031
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 63 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
470 divided by 63 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7761.460317
Subtract 441 from 470 to 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.

Moving on to step 13:
290 divided by 63 is 4 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7761.4603174
If we subtract 252 from 290, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
63 goes into 380 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7761.46031746
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7761.46031746, and the remainder is 2e-09.
