5098489 ÷ 148 
We're looking to find how many times 148 goes into 5098489.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 148, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 50 / 148

Advancing to step 2:
148 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 509 / 148

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 148 fits into 509 3 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 444 from 509 and we're left with 65.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 658 / 148

Step 4:
658 divided by 148 is 4 with a remainder of 66.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtract 592 from 658 to get 66.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 66 and continue: 664 / 148

Moving on to step 5:
The number 148 fits into 664 4 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 344.0
Subtract 592 from 664 to get 72.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 728 / 148

Advancing to step 6:
The number 148 fits into 728 4 times, leaving a remainder of 136.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3444.0
If we take 592 away from 728, we end up with 136.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 136 and continue with: 1369 / 148

Advancing to step 7:
148 goes into 1369 9 times with a remainder of 37.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34449.0
If we subtract 1332 from 1369, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
370 divided by 148 is 2 with a remainder of 74.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34449.2
Deduct 296 from 370 and we're left with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 148 fits into 740 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34449.25
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 740 from 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 0 by 148, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34449.25
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 11:
When dividing 0 by 148, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34449.25
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 34449.25 with a balance of 0.0.
