We're dividing 490964 by 99 
Let's see how many times 99 fits into 490964.

Step 1:
The number 99 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 99

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 99, we get 0 and a remainder of 49.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 490 / 99

On to step 3:
490 divided by 99 is 4 with a remainder of 94.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 396 from 490, we get 94.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 94, then repeat: 949 / 99

Step 4:
The number 99 fits into 949 9 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 891 from 949.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 586 / 99

Let's proceed to step 5:
99 goes into 586 5 times with a remainder of 91.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 495.0
If we take 495 away from 586, we end up with 91.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 91, then repeat: 914 / 99

Advancing to step 6:
The number 99 fits into 914 9 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4959.0
If we take 891 away from 914, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
99 goes into 230 2 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4959.2
If we subtract 198 from 230, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
320 divided by 99 is 3 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4959.23
Subtract 297 from 320 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
230 divided by 99 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4959.232
Subtract 198 from 230 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
99 goes into 320 3 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4959.2323
Deduct 297 from 320 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 230 by 99, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4959.23232
Deduct 198 from 230 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
99 goes into 320 3 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4959.232323
Subtracting 297 from 320 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 230 by 99, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4959.2323232
If we subtract 198 from 230, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 320 by 99, we get 3 with a remainder of 23.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4959.23232323
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 297 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4959.23232323 with a remaining 2.3e-08.
