We look at the division of 48972707 by 499 
We're looking to find how many times 499 goes into 48972707.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 499 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 499

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 499, we get 0 and a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 489 / 499

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 499 fits into 489 0 times, leaving a remainder of 489.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 489 leaves us with 489.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 489, then repeat: 4897 / 499

Moving on to step 4:
4897 divided by 499 is 9 with a remainder of 406.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 4491 from 4897 leaves us with 406.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 406 and continue with: 4062 / 499

Step 5:
499 can be fit into 4062 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 98.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 3992 from 4062.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 707 / 499

Going ahead to step 6:
499 goes into 707 1 times with a remainder of 208.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 981.0
Subtract 499 from 707 to get 208.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 208, then repeat: 2080 / 499

Advancing to step 7:
499 can be fit into 2080 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9814.0
Subtracting 1996 from 2080 leaves us with 84.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 84, then repeat: 847 / 499

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 499 fits into 847 1 times, leaving a remainder of 348.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 98141.0
If we take 499 away from 847, we end up with 348.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
499 can be fit into 3480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 486.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 98141.6
Subtracting 2994 from 3480 leaves us with 486.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4860, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 4860 by 499, we get 9 and a remainder of 369.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 98141.69
Deduct 4491 from 4860 and we're left with 369.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3690, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 3690 by 499, we get 7 with a remainder of 197.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 98141.697
The remainder is 197 after subtracting 3493 from 3690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1970, and continue the process.

Step 12:
499 goes into 1970 3 times with a remainder of 473.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 98141.6973
If we subtract 1497 from 1970, we get 473.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4730, and continue the process.

Step 13:
499 can be fit into 4730 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 239.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 98141.69739
If we subtract 4491 from 4730, we get 239.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2390, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
2390 divided by 499 is 4 with a remainder of 394.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 98141.697394
Subtracting 1996 from 2390 leaves us with 394.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3940, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
3940 divided by 499 is 7 with a remainder of 447.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 98141.6973947
If we take 3493 away from 3940, we end up with 447.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
499 goes into 4470 8 times with a remainder of 478.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 98141.69739478
Deduct 3992 from 4470 and we're left with 478.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4780, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 98141.69739478 with a balance of 4.78e-07.
