We divide 531486 by 99
We want to figure out the number of times 531486 can be divided by 99.

On to step 1:
The number 99 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 99

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 53 by 99, we get 0 with a remainder of 53.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 53 leaves us with 53.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 531 / 99

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 99 fits into 531 5 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 495 from 531 and we're left with 36.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 364 / 99

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 364 by 99, we get 3 with a remainder of 67.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we take 297 away from 364, we end up with 67.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 67 and repeat the process: 678 / 99

Advancing to step 5:
99 goes into 678 6 times with a remainder of 84.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 536.0
Subtract 594 from 678 to get 84.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 84 and continue: 846 / 99

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 846 by 99, we get 8 and a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5368.0
Deduct 792 from 846 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.

Step 7:
99 goes into 540 5 times with a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5368.5
Deduct 495 from 540 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
99 goes into 450 4 times with a remainder of 54.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5368.54
Subtracting 396 from 450 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.

Advancing to step 9:
99 goes into 540 5 times with a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5368.545
Deduct 495 from 540 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 10:
450 divided by 99 is 4 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5368.5454
If we subtract 396 from 450, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 99 fits into 540 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5368.54545
If we subtract 495 from 540, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 450 by 99, we get 4 and a remainder of 54.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5368.545454
Subtracting 396 from 450 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.

Step 13:
The number 99 fits into 540 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5368.5454545
Subtract 495 from 540 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
99 can be fit into 450 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5368.54545454
Subtracting 396 from 450 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 5368.54545454 with a remaining 5.4e-08.
