We divide 488459 by 84
Our goal is to divide 488459 by 84.

Step 1:
84 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 84

Step 2:
84 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 488 / 84

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 488 by 84, we get 5 and a remainder of 68.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 420 from 488 leaves us with 68.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 68 and continue: 684 / 84

Let's proceed to step 4:
84 goes into 684 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we subtract 672 from 684, we get 12.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 125 / 84

Step 5:
When dividing 125 by 84, we get 1 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 581.0
Deduct 84 from 125 and we're left with 41.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 419 / 84

On to step 6:
The number 84 fits into 419 4 times, leaving a remainder of 83.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5814.0
If we subtract 336 from 419, we get 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
830 divided by 84 is 9 with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5814.9
Subtracting 756 from 830 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 84 fits into 740 8 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5814.98
Subtracting 672 from 740 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 84 fits into 680 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5814.988
If we subtract 672 from 680, we 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.

Our division results in 5814.988 with a remaining 0.0008.
