We're dividing 491249 by 98 
Let's see how many times 98 fits into 491249.

Step 1:
98 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
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 / 98

Going ahead to step 2:
49 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 491 / 98

Step 3:
When dividing 491 by 98, we get 5 with a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 490 from 491, we get 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 98

Moving on to step 4:
12 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 124 / 98

Let's proceed to step 5:
124 divided by 98 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 501.0
If we take 98 away from 124, we end up with 26.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 269 / 98

On to step 6:
269 divided by 98 is 2 with a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5012.0
Subtract 196 from 269 to get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 730 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 44.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5012.7
Subtracting 686 from 730 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 440 by 98, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5012.74
Deduct 392 from 440 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
480 divided by 98 is 4 with a remainder of 88.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5012.744
The remainder is 88 after subtracting 392 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

The final result is 5012.744 with a remainder of 0.0088.
