We look at the division of 488983 by 32 
We want to figure out the number of times 488983 can be divided by 32.

Let's proceed to step 1:
32 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
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 32

On to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 32, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 32 from 48 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 168 / 32

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 32 fits into 168 5 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 160 from 168, we get 8.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 89 / 32

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 89 by 32, we get 2 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 152.0
If we take 64 away from 89, we end up with 25.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 258 / 32

Step 5:
258 divided by 32 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1528.0
If we take 256 away from 258, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 32

Step 6:
The number 32 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 15280.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
32 goes into 230 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15280.7
If we take 224 away from 230, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 32, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15280.71
Subtract 32 from 60 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 32, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15280.718
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 256 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
32 can be fit into 240 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 15280.7187
If we subtract 224 from 240, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 32, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15280.71875
Deduct 160 from 160 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 0 by 32, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15280.71875
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
32 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 15280.71875
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 15280.71875 and a remainder of 0.0.
