We're dividing 491438 by 97 
We're looking to find how many times 97 goes into 491438.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 97 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 97

Let's proceed to step 2:
97 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 491 / 97

Advancing to step 3:
The number 97 fits into 491 5 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 485 away from 491, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 64 / 97

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 64 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we take 0 away from 64, we end up with 64.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 643 / 97

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 97 fits into 643 6 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 506.0
If we subtract 582 from 643, we get 61.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 61, then repeat: 618 / 97

On to step 6:
When dividing 618 by 97, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5066.0
If we subtract 582 from 618, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
97 goes into 360 3 times with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5066.3
Subtract 291 from 360 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
97 can be fit into 690 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5066.37
If we subtract 679 from 690, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 110 by 97, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5066.371
Subtracting 97 from 110 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
97 can be fit into 130 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5066.3711
If we subtract 97 from 130, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5066.3711, with a leftover of 0.00033.
