18723099 divided by 491 
We're looking to find how many times 491 goes into 18723099.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 491, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 491

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 491, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 18, we get 18.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 187 / 491

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 187 by 491, we get 0 with a remainder of 187.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 187 leaves us with 187.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 187, then repeat: 1872 / 491

On to step 4:
If we divide 1872 by 491, we get 3 and a remainder of 399.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 1473 from 1872 to get 399.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 399, then repeat: 3993 / 491

Going ahead to step 5:
491 goes into 3993 8 times with a remainder of 65.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 3928 from 3993.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 650 / 491

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 650 by 491, we get 1 and a remainder of 159.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 381.0
Subtracting 491 from 650 leaves us with 159.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 159, then repeat: 1599 / 491

Advancing to step 7:
The number 491 fits into 1599 3 times, leaving a remainder of 126.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3813.0
Subtracting 1473 from 1599 leaves us with 126.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 126, then repeat: 1269 / 491

Advancing to step 8:
The number 491 fits into 1269 2 times, leaving a remainder of 287.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38132.0
Deduct 982 from 1269 and we're left with 287.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2870, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 491 fits into 2870 5 times, leaving a remainder of 415.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 38132.5
The remainder is 415 after subtracting 2455 from 2870.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 491 fits into 4150 8 times, leaving a remainder of 222.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38132.58
If we subtract 3928 from 4150, we get 222.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
2220 divided by 491 is 4 with a remainder of 256.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38132.584
The remainder is 256 after subtracting 1964 from 2220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2560, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 491 fits into 2560 5 times, leaving a remainder of 105.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38132.5845
If we take 2455 away from 2560, we end up with 105.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1050, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
491 goes into 1050 2 times with a remainder of 68.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38132.58452
Subtracting 982 from 1050 leaves us 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.

On to step 14:
680 divided by 491 is 1 with a remainder of 189.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38132.584521
Subtract 491 from 680 to get 189.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1890, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 1890 by 491, we get 3 with a remainder of 417.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38132.5845213
Subtract 1473 from 1890 to get 417.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4170, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
If we divide 4170 by 491, we get 8 and a remainder of 242.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38132.58452138
The remainder is 242 after subtracting 3928 from 4170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 38132.58452138, with a leftover of 2.42e-07.
