We divide 49086 by 98
We want to figure out the number of times 49086 can be divided by 98.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 98

On to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 490 / 98

Going ahead to step 3:
490 divided by 98 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 490 from 490 to get 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 98

Moving on to step 4:
98 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 86 / 98

On to step 5:
86 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 86.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 500.0
If we subtract 0 from 86, we get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
The number 98 fits into 860 8 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 500.8
Deduct 784 from 860 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 760 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 500.87
Subtract 686 from 760 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 740 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 54.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 500.877
Subtracting 686 from 740 leaves us 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 500.877 with a remaining 0.0054.
