Let's divide 501279 by 96
Our goal is to divide 501279 by 96.

On to step 1:
The number 96 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 96

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 96 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 501 / 96

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 501 by 96, we get 5 and a remainder of 21.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 480 away from 501, we end up with 21.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 212 / 96

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 212 by 96, we get 2 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
If we subtract 192 from 212, we get 20.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 207 / 96

Advancing to step 5:
207 divided by 96 is 2 with a remainder of 15.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 522.0
Subtract 192 from 207 to get 15.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 159 / 96

Going ahead to step 6:
96 can be fit into 159 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5221.0
Deduct 96 from 159 and we're left with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
96 can be fit into 630 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5221.6
Deduct 576 from 630 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
96 goes into 540 5 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5221.65
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 480 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
600 divided by 96 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5221.656
Subtract 576 from 600 to 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.

Advancing to step 10:
96 can be fit into 240 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5221.6562
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 192 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
96 goes into 480 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5221.65625
Subtract 480 from 480 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
96 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5221.65625
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 13:
96 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5221.65625
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5221.65625, with a leftover of 0.0.
