We divide 481908 by 98
Our goal is to divide 481908 by 98.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 98

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 481 / 98

Let's proceed to step 3:
98 can be fit into 481 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 89.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 392 from 481 to get 89.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 89, then repeat: 899 / 98

On to step 4:
899 divided by 98 is 9 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we take 882 away from 899, we end up with 17.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 170 / 98

Step 5:
When dividing 170 by 98, we get 1 with a remainder of 72.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 491.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 98 from 170.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 728 / 98

Moving on to step 6:
The number 98 fits into 728 7 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4917.0
Deduct 686 from 728 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
420 divided by 98 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4917.4
Subtract 392 from 420 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 280 by 98, we get 2 and a remainder of 84.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4917.42
Deduct 196 from 280 and we're left with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 840 by 98, we get 8 and a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4917.428
Subtract 784 from 840 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 98 fits into 560 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4917.4285
Subtract 490 from 560 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 700 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4917.42857
If we take 686 away from 700, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 12:
98 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4917.428571
Deduct 98 from 140 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
98 goes into 420 4 times with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4917.4285714
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 392 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
98 goes into 280 2 times with a remainder of 84.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4917.42857142
Subtracting 196 from 280 leaves us with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4917.42857142 with a balance of 8.4e-08.
