We're dividing 487241 by 98 
We're looking to find how many times 98 goes into 487241.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 98

Let's proceed to step 2:
98 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 487 / 98

Going ahead to step 3:
487 divided by 98 is 4 with a remainder of 95.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 392 from 487, we get 95.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 95, then carry on: 952 / 98

Step 4:
952 divided by 98 is 9 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we take 882 away from 952, we end up with 70.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 70 and continue with: 704 / 98

Let's proceed to step 5:
98 goes into 704 7 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 497.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 686 from 704.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 181 / 98

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 181 by 98, we get 1 and a remainder of 83.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4971.0
Deduct 98 from 181 and we're left with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
98 goes into 830 8 times with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4971.8
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 784 from 830.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 98 fits into 460 4 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4971.84
If we subtract 392 from 460, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 680 by 98, we get 6 with a remainder of 92.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4971.846
Deduct 588 from 680 and we're left with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 920 by 98, we get 9 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4971.8469
If we subtract 882 from 920, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 98 fits into 380 3 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4971.84693
Subtracting 294 from 380 leaves us with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
860 divided by 98 is 8 with a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4971.846938
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 784 from 860.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 98 fits into 760 7 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4971.8469387
Subtracting 686 from 760 leaves us with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 740 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 54.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4971.84693877
Deduct 686 from 740 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.

Our division results in 4971.84693877 with a remaining 5.4e-08.
