We're dividing 488673 by 83 
We want to divide 488673 by 83.

Advancing to step 1:
83 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 83

Step 2:
The number 83 fits into 48 0 times, leaving 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.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 488 / 83

Advancing to step 3:
488 divided by 83 is 5 with a remainder of 73.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 415 from 488 and we're left with 73.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 73, then repeat: 736 / 83

Step 4:
If we divide 736 by 83, we get 8 and a remainder of 72.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we subtract 664 from 736, we get 72.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 727 / 83

Let's proceed to step 5:
83 goes into 727 8 times with a remainder of 63.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 588.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 664 from 727.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 63 and continue: 633 / 83

On to step 6:
When dividing 633 by 83, we get 7 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5887.0
Subtract 581 from 633 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 520 by 83, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5887.6
Subtracting 498 from 520 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
83 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5887.62
Deduct 166 from 220 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
540 divided by 83 is 6 with a remainder of 42.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5887.626
Subtract 498 from 540 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
83 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5887.6265
If we take 415 away from 420, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
83 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5887.6265
If we subtract 0 from 50, we 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.

Step 12:
When dividing 500 by 83, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5887.626506
If we subtract 498 from 500, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 83 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5887.626506
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Step 14:
83 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5887.62650602
Deduct 166 from 200 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5887.62650602, with a leftover of 3.4e-08.
