Let's divide 496682 by 98
Let's see how many times 98 fits into 496682.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 98

Moving on to step 2:
98 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
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 496 / 98

Step 3:
The number 98 fits into 496 5 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 490 from 496 to get 6.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 66 / 98

Step 4:
If we divide 66 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 66.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtract 0 from 66 to get 66.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 66 and continue: 668 / 98

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 98 fits into 668 6 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 506.0
Subtracting 588 from 668 leaves us with 80.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 80, then repeat: 802 / 98

Moving on to step 6:
The number 98 fits into 802 8 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5068.0
Deduct 784 from 802 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 98 fits into 180 1 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5068.1
If we take 98 away from 180, we end up with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 820 by 98, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5068.18
If we take 784 away from 820, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 360 by 98, we get 3 with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5068.183
Subtract 294 from 360 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
98 can be fit into 660 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5068.1836
Subtracting 588 from 660 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
98 goes into 720 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5068.18367
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 686 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
340 divided by 98 is 3 with a remainder of 46.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5068.183673
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 294 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
98 goes into 460 4 times with a remainder of 68.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5068.1836734
Deduct 392 from 460 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 680 by 98, we get 6 with a remainder of 92.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5068.18367346
Subtract 588 from 680 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5068.18367346 with a balance of 9.2e-08.
