Let's divide 488623 by 97
We want to divide 488623 by 97.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 97, we get 0 and 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.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 97

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 488 / 97

Let's proceed to step 3:
97 can be fit into 488 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 485 from 488 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 36 / 97

Moving on to step 4:
97 goes into 36 0 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50.0
Deduct 0 from 36 and we're left with 36.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 362 / 97

Going ahead to step 5:
97 goes into 362 3 times with a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 503.0
Deduct 291 from 362 and we're left with 71.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 713 / 97

Moving on to step 6:
The number 97 fits into 713 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5037.0
Subtract 679 from 713 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
340 divided by 97 is 3 with a remainder of 49.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5037.3
Subtract 291 from 340 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
97 can be fit into 490 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5037.35
If we subtract 485 from 490, we get 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 9:
When dividing 50 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5037.35
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 500 by 97, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5037.3505
If we subtract 485 from 500, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 150 by 97, we get 1 and a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5037.35051
Subtracting 97 from 150 leaves us with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
97 can be fit into 530 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5037.350515
Subtract 485 from 530 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 13:
450 divided by 97 is 4 with a remainder of 62.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5037.3505154
If we take 388 away from 450, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
97 can be fit into 620 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5037.35051546
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 582 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5037.35051546 with a balance of 3.8e-08.
