We look at the division of 53712874 by 498 
Our goal is to divide 53712874 by 498.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 498 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 53 / 498

Step 2:
When dividing 53 by 498, we get 0 with a remainder of 53.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 53, we get 53.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 537 / 498

Advancing to step 3:
537 divided by 498 is 1 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 498 from 537 to get 39.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 391 / 498

Advancing to step 4:
498 goes into 391 0 times with a remainder of 391.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 391 after subtracting 0 from 391.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 391, then carry on: 3912 / 498

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 498 fits into 3912 7 times, leaving a remainder of 426.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 107.0
Subtracting 3486 from 3912 leaves us with 426.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 426, then carry on: 4268 / 498

Step 6:
The number 498 fits into 4268 8 times, leaving a remainder of 284.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1078.0
The remainder is 284 after subtracting 3984 from 4268.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 284, then repeat: 2847 / 498

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 2847 by 498, we get 5 and a remainder of 357.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10785.0
Subtracting 2490 from 2847 leaves us with 357.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 357, then carry on: 3574 / 498

Advancing to step 8:
The number 498 fits into 3574 7 times, leaving a remainder of 88.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 107857.0
If we subtract 3486 from 3574, we get 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 880 by 498, we get 1 and a remainder of 382.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 107857.1
Subtracting 498 from 880 leaves us with 382.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3820, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 3820 by 498, we get 7 with a remainder of 334.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 107857.17
If we take 3486 away from 3820, we end up with 334.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 3340 by 498, we get 6 and a remainder of 352.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 107857.176
Deduct 2988 from 3340 and we're left with 352.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 3520 by 498, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 107857.1767
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 3486 from 3520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 340 by 498, we get 0 with a remainder of 340.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 107857.1767
If we take 0 away from 340, we end up with 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 3400 by 498, we get 6 and a remainder of 412.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 107857.176706
If we take 2988 away from 3400, we end up with 412.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
4120 divided by 498 is 8 with a remainder of 136.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 107857.1767068
Subtracting 3984 from 4120 leaves us with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
498 can be fit into 1360 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 364.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 107857.17670682
Subtracting 996 from 1360 leaves us with 364.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3640, and continue the process.

Our division results in 107857.17670682 with a remaining 3.64e-07.
