We're dividing 50004862 by 974 
We want to divide 50004862 by 974.

Let's proceed to step 1:
974 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 50 / 974

On to step 2:
When dividing 50 by 974, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 500 / 974

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 500 by 974, we get 0 and a remainder of 500.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 500, we get 500.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 500, then repeat: 5000 / 974

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 5000 by 974, we get 5 with a remainder of 130.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 4870 from 5000, we get 130.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 130, then repeat: 1304 / 974

Let's proceed to step 5:
1304 divided by 974 is 1 with a remainder of 330.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
If we take 974 away from 1304, we end up with 330.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 330 and continue: 3308 / 974

Let's proceed to step 6:
974 can be fit into 3308 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 386.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 513.0
Deduct 2922 from 3308 and we're left with 386.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 386 and continue: 3866 / 974

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 3866 by 974, we get 3 with a remainder of 944.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5133.0
Deduct 2922 from 3866 and we're left with 944.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 944 and continue: 9442 / 974

Advancing to step 8:
9442 divided by 974 is 9 with a remainder of 676.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51339.0
Subtract 8766 from 9442 to get 676.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
974 goes into 6760 6 times with a remainder of 916.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51339.6
Subtracting 5844 from 6760 leaves us with 916.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
974 can be fit into 9160 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 394.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 51339.69
Deduct 8766 from 9160 and we're left with 394.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3940, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
974 goes into 3940 4 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51339.694
Subtracting 3896 from 3940 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 974 fits into 440 0 times, leaving a remainder of 440.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51339.694
Subtract 0 from 440 to get 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
974 goes into 4400 4 times with a remainder of 504.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51339.69404
Subtract 3896 from 4400 to get 504.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5040, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
974 can be fit into 5040 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 170.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51339.694045
If we take 4870 away from 5040, we end up with 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 1700 by 974, we get 1 with a remainder of 726.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51339.6940451
Subtract 974 from 1700 to get 726.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
974 goes into 7260 7 times with a remainder of 442.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51339.69404517
Subtract 6818 from 7260 to get 442.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4420, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 51339.69404517, and the remainder is 4.42e-07.
