Let's divide 498461 by 99
We want to divide 498461 by 99.

Let's proceed to step 1:
99 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 99

Moving on to step 2:
99 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 498 / 99

On to step 3:
If we divide 498 by 99, we get 5 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 495 from 498 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 34 / 99

Advancing to step 4:
99 goes into 34 0 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtracting 0 from 34 leaves us with 34.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 346 / 99

Let's proceed to step 5:
99 can be fit into 346 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 503.0
If we take 297 away from 346, we end up with 49.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 491 / 99

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 491 by 99, we get 4 with a remainder of 95.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5034.0
Subtracting 396 from 491 leaves us with 95.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 950 by 99, we get 9 and a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5034.9
Subtract 891 from 950 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 590 by 99, we get 5 and a remainder of 95.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5034.95
If we take 495 away from 590, we end up with 95.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
950 divided by 99 is 9 with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5034.959
Subtracting 891 from 950 leaves us with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
590 divided by 99 is 5 with a remainder of 95.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5034.9595
Deduct 495 from 590 and we're left with 95.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 950 by 99, we get 9 and a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5034.95959
If we subtract 891 from 950, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 590 by 99, we get 5 with a remainder of 95.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5034.959595
If we take 495 away from 590, we end up with 95.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
950 divided by 99 is 9 with a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5034.9595959
Subtract 891 from 950 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 99 fits into 590 5 times, leaving a remainder of 95.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5034.95959595
Subtracting 495 from 590 leaves us with 95.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5034.95959595, with a leftover of 9.5e-08.
