491846 divided by 96 
Our goal is to divide 491846 by 96.

Moving on to step 1:
96 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 96

On to step 2:
96 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
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 491 / 96

Step 3:
When dividing 491 by 96, we get 5 with a remainder of 11.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 480 from 491 to get 11.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 96

Advancing to step 4:
The number 96 fits into 118 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
If we take 96 away from 118, we end up with 22.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 224 / 96

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 224 by 96, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 512.0
If we subtract 192 from 224, we get 32.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 326 / 96

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 326 by 96, we get 3 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5123.0
Subtracting 288 from 326 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 96 fits into 380 3 times, leaving a remainder of 92.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5123.3
If we subtract 288 from 380, we get 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
920 divided by 96 is 9 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5123.39
Deduct 864 from 920 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
96 can be fit into 560 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5123.395
If we subtract 480 from 560, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
800 divided by 96 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5123.3958
Subtract 768 from 800 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 96, we get 3 and a remainder of 32.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5123.39583
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
320 divided by 96 is 3 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5123.395833
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5123.395833 with a balance of 3.2e-06.
