We divide 21481559 by 494
We're looking to find how many times 494 goes into 21481559.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 494, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 494

Moving on to step 2:
494 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 214 / 494

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 214 by 494, we get 0 and a remainder of 214.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 214 leaves us with 214.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 214, then repeat: 2148 / 494

Step 4:
When dividing 2148 by 494, we get 4 with a remainder of 172.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 1976 away from 2148, we end up with 172.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 172 and continue with: 1721 / 494

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 1721 by 494, we get 3 with a remainder of 239.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
Subtract 1482 from 1721 to get 239.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 239 and continue: 2395 / 494

Let's proceed to step 6:
2395 divided by 494 is 4 with a remainder of 419.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 434.0
Subtracting 1976 from 2395 leaves us with 419.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 419, then repeat: 4195 / 494

Advancing to step 7:
494 can be fit into 4195 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 243.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4348.0
If we take 3952 away from 4195, we end up with 243.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 243 and continue with: 2439 / 494

On to step 8:
494 can be fit into 2439 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 463.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 43484.0
Deduct 1976 from 2439 and we're left with 463.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4630, and continue the process.

Step 9:
494 can be fit into 4630 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 184.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43484.9
If we take 4446 away from 4630, we end up with 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
1840 divided by 494 is 3 with a remainder of 358.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43484.93
If we take 1482 away from 1840, we end up with 358.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
494 goes into 3580 7 times with a remainder of 122.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43484.937
Deduct 3458 from 3580 and we're left with 122.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
494 goes into 1220 2 times with a remainder of 232.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43484.9372
The remainder is 232 after subtracting 988 from 1220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 2320 by 494, we get 4 with a remainder of 344.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43484.93724
If we subtract 1976 from 2320, we get 344.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
494 goes into 3440 6 times with a remainder of 476.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43484.937246
Subtracting 2964 from 3440 leaves us with 476.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4760, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
When dividing 4760 by 494, we get 9 with a remainder of 314.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43484.9372469
If we take 4446 away from 4760, we end up with 314.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
The number 494 fits into 3140 6 times, leaving a remainder of 176.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43484.93724696
The remainder is 176 after subtracting 2964 from 3140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

The final result is 43484.93724696 with a remainder of 1.76e-07.
