Let's divide 5142491 by 494
We're looking to find how many times 494 goes into 5142491.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 494 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 51 / 494

Step 2:
494 goes into 51 0 times with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 51, we get 51.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 514 / 494

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 514 by 494, we get 1 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 494 from 514 and we're left with 20.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 202 / 494

Advancing to step 4:
494 can be fit into 202 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 202.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 202, we end up with 202.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 202, then carry on: 2024 / 494

Let's proceed to step 5:
494 goes into 2024 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 104.0
If we subtract 1976 from 2024, we get 48.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 489 / 494

Moving on to step 6:
The number 494 fits into 489 0 times, leaving a remainder of 489.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1040.0
Deduct 0 from 489 and we're left with 489.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 489 and continue with: 4891 / 494

Step 7:
The number 494 fits into 4891 9 times, leaving a remainder of 445.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10409.0
Subtracting 4446 from 4891 leaves us with 445.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4450, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 494 fits into 4450 9 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10409.9
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 4446 from 4450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
494 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10409.9
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
494 goes into 400 0 times with a remainder of 400.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10409.9
If we subtract 0 from 400, we get 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4000, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 10409.9, with a leftover of 0.04.
