We divide 501972 by 99
We want to divide 501972 by 99.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 99 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 99

On to step 2:
The number 99 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 501 / 99

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 99 fits into 501 5 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 495 from 501 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 69 / 99

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 99 fits into 69 0 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtract 0 from 69 to get 69.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 697 / 99

Moving on to step 5:
99 can be fit into 697 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 507.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 693 from 697.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 99

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 99 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5070.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 99 fits into 420 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5070.4
Deduct 396 from 420 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 240 by 99, we get 2 and a remainder of 42.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5070.42
Subtracting 198 from 240 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 420 by 99, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5070.424
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 396 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
99 can be fit into 240 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5070.4242
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 198 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 99 fits into 420 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5070.42424
If we subtract 396 from 420, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 240 by 99, we get 2 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5070.424242
If we subtract 198 from 240, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
420 divided by 99 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5070.4242424
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 396 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
99 can be fit into 240 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5070.42424242
Subtract 198 from 240 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5070.42424242 with a remaining 4.2e-08.
