We look at the division of 2990931 by 496 
We want to divide 2990931 by 496.

Step 1:
The number 496 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 496

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 29 by 496, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 299 / 496

Step 3:
299 divided by 496 is 0 with a remainder of 299.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 299 to get 299.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 299 and repeat the process: 2990 / 496

On to step 4:
If we divide 2990 by 496, we get 6 and a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 2976 from 2990 and we're left with 14.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 149 / 496

On to step 5:
The number 496 fits into 149 0 times, leaving a remainder of 149.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 60.0
If we subtract 0 from 149, we get 149.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 149 and continue with: 1493 / 496

Step 6:
496 goes into 1493 3 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 603.0
Subtracting 1488 from 1493 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 496

Advancing to step 7:
The number 496 fits into 51 0 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6030.0
Deduct 0 from 51 and we're left with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
496 can be fit into 510 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6030.1
Deduct 496 from 510 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 140 by 496, we get 0 and a remainder of 140.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6030.1
If we take 0 away from 140, we end up with 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
496 can be fit into 1400 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 408.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6030.102
If we take 992 away from 1400, we end up with 408.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 4080 by 496, we get 8 with a remainder of 112.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6030.1028
Deduct 3968 from 4080 and we're left with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 496 fits into 1120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 128.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6030.10282
Deduct 992 from 1120 and we're left with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
496 goes into 1280 2 times with a remainder of 288.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6030.102822
The remainder is 288 after subtracting 992 from 1280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2880, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6030.102822, and the remainder is 2.88e-05.
