We're dividing 1486285 by 475 
We want to figure out the number of times 1486285 can be divided by 475.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 475, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 475

Step 2:
14 divided by 475 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 148 / 475

On to step 3:
148 divided by 475 is 0 with a remainder of 148.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 148 and we're left with 148.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 148 and continue: 1486 / 475

Moving on to step 4:
475 goes into 1486 3 times with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 1425 from 1486 to get 61.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 612 / 475

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 475 fits into 612 1 times, leaving a remainder of 137.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 475 from 612 leaves us with 137.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 137 and continue: 1378 / 475

Let's proceed to step 6:
475 can be fit into 1378 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 428.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 312.0
Deduct 950 from 1378 and we're left with 428.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 428, then carry on: 4285 / 475

On to step 7:
If we divide 4285 by 475, we get 9 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3129.0
If we take 4275 away from 4285, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
475 goes into 100 0 times with a remainder of 100.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3129.0
Subtract 0 from 100 to get 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
475 can be fit into 1000 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3129.02
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 950 from 1000.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
475 can be fit into 500 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3129.021
Subtracting 475 from 500 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 475 fits into 250 0 times, leaving a remainder of 250.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3129.021
If we take 0 away from 250, we end up with 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
475 goes into 2500 5 times with a remainder of 125.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3129.02105
If we subtract 2375 from 2500, we get 125.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 1250 by 475, we get 2 with a remainder of 300.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3129.021052
Subtract 950 from 1250 to get 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3000, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 3000 by 475, we get 6 with a remainder of 150.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3129.0210526
Subtract 2850 from 3000 to get 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 1500 by 475, we get 3 with a remainder of 75.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3129.02105263
Subtracting 1425 from 1500 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3129.02105263 and a remainder of 7.5e-08.
