1608478 divided by 490 
Let's see how many times 490 fits into 1608478.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 490 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 490

Advancing to step 2:
The number 490 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 160 / 490

Moving on to step 3:
490 goes into 160 0 times with a remainder of 160.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 160 to get 160.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 160 and continue: 1608 / 490

Step 4:
490 goes into 1608 3 times with a remainder of 138.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 1470 from 1608 to get 138.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 138, then repeat: 1384 / 490

Let's proceed to step 5:
490 can be fit into 1384 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 404.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 404 after subtracting 980 from 1384.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 404, then repeat: 4047 / 490

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 490 fits into 4047 8 times, leaving a remainder of 127.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 328.0
The remainder is 127 after subtracting 3920 from 4047.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 127, then repeat: 1278 / 490

Step 7:
If we divide 1278 by 490, we get 2 and a remainder of 298.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3282.0
The remainder is 298 after subtracting 980 from 1278.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2980, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 2980 by 490, we get 6 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3282.6
Subtracting 2940 from 2980 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
490 can be fit into 400 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 400.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3282.6
The remainder is 400 after subtracting 0 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4000, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
490 goes into 4000 8 times with a remainder of 80.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3282.608
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 3920 from 4000.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
490 goes into 800 1 times with a remainder of 310.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3282.6081
If we subtract 490 from 800, we get 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
3100 divided by 490 is 6 with a remainder of 160.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3282.60816
Subtract 2940 from 3100 to get 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 1600 by 490, we get 3 and a remainder of 130.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3282.608163
If we subtract 1470 from 1600, we get 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 1300 by 490, we get 2 and a remainder of 320.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3282.6081632
If we take 980 away from 1300, we end up with 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
The number 490 fits into 3200 6 times, leaving a remainder of 260.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3282.60816326
Deduct 2940 from 3200 and we're left with 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3282.60816326 with a balance of 2.6e-07.
