We're dividing 35858781 by 499 
We want to divide 35858781 by 499.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 499, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 35 / 499

Advancing to step 2:
499 goes into 35 0 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 35 to get 35.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 358 / 499

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 358 by 499, we get 0 and a remainder of 358.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 358, we get 358.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 358 and continue with: 3585 / 499

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 3585 by 499, we get 7 with a remainder of 92.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 3493 from 3585 leaves us with 92.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 92, then carry on: 928 / 499

Moving on to step 5:
The number 499 fits into 928 1 times, leaving a remainder of 429.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71.0
Subtracting 499 from 928 leaves us with 429.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 429 and repeat the process: 4297 / 499

Step 6:
If we divide 4297 by 499, we get 8 and a remainder of 305.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 718.0
Deduct 3992 from 4297 and we're left with 305.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 305, then repeat: 3058 / 499

Step 7:
499 can be fit into 3058 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7186.0
Subtract 2994 from 3058 to get 64.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 641 / 499

Step 8:
641 divided by 499 is 1 with a remainder of 142.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 71861.0
Subtract 499 from 641 to get 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 499 fits into 1420 2 times, leaving a remainder of 422.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71861.2
Subtract 998 from 1420 to get 422.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
499 goes into 4220 8 times with a remainder of 228.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71861.28
If we take 3992 away from 4220, we end up with 228.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2280, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 2280 by 499, we get 4 and a remainder of 284.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71861.284
If we take 1996 away from 2280, we end up with 284.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
2840 divided by 499 is 5 with a remainder of 345.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 71861.2845
If we subtract 2495 from 2840, we get 345.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
499 can be fit into 3450 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 456.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71861.28456
Subtract 2994 from 3450 to get 456.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 4560 by 499, we get 9 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 71861.284569
Subtracting 4491 from 4560 leaves us with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
The number 499 fits into 690 1 times, leaving a remainder of 191.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71861.2845691
Subtract 499 from 690 to get 191.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1910, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
The number 499 fits into 1910 3 times, leaving a remainder of 413.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71861.28456913
If we subtract 1497 from 1910, we get 413.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4130, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 71861.28456913 and a remainder of 4.13e-07.
