We're dividing 498788 by 99 
We want to divide 498788 by 99.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 99 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 99

Step 2:
99 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 498 / 99

Let's proceed to step 3:
99 can be fit into 498 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 495 from 498 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 99

On to step 4:
99 goes into 37 0 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
Deduct 0 from 37 and we're left with 37.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 378 / 99

Moving on to step 5:
99 goes into 378 3 times with a remainder of 81.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 503.0
Subtract 297 from 378 to get 81.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 81, then repeat: 818 / 99

Advancing to step 6:
The number 99 fits into 818 8 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5038.0
Subtracting 792 from 818 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
260 divided by 99 is 2 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5038.2
If we subtract 198 from 260, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 620 by 99, we get 6 with a remainder of 26.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5038.26
If we subtract 594 from 620, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
99 goes into 260 2 times with a remainder of 62.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5038.262
Subtracting 198 from 260 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 620 by 99, we get 6 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5038.2626
Deduct 594 from 620 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 260 by 99, we get 2 with a remainder of 62.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5038.26262
Subtracting 198 from 260 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
99 goes into 620 6 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5038.262626
If we take 594 away from 620, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 99 fits into 260 2 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5038.2626262
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 198 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
99 can be fit into 620 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5038.26262626
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 594 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5038.26262626 and a remainder of 2.6e-08.
