490493 ÷ 4 
We're looking to find how many times 4 goes into 490493.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 4, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 4 from 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 4

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 9 by 4, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 8 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 10 / 4

Let's proceed to step 3:
4 goes into 10 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 122.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 8 from 10.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 4

Advancing to step 4:
4 can be fit into 24 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1226.0
Deduct 24 from 24 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 4

On to step 5:
When dividing 9 by 4, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12262.0
If we subtract 8 from 9, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 13 / 4

On to step 6:
4 can be fit into 13 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 122623.0
Subtract 12 from 13 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
4 can be fit into 10 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122623.2
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 8 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 4 fits into 20 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 122623.25
Subtract 20 from 20 to get 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 9:
When dividing 0 by 4, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122623.25
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.

On to step 10:
4 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 122623.25
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.

After the division, we end up with 122623.25 and a remainder of 0.0.
