494981 divided by 96 
We want to divide 494981 by 96.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 96 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 96

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 96, we get 0 and a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 494 / 96

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 494 by 96, we get 5 and a remainder of 14.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 480 from 494 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 149 / 96

Moving on to step 4:
96 can be fit into 149 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 51.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 96 from 149.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 538 / 96

On to step 5:
When dividing 538 by 96, we get 5 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 515.0
Subtracting 480 from 538 leaves us with 58.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 581 / 96

Going ahead to step 6:
581 divided by 96 is 6 with a remainder of 5.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5156.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 576 from 581.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 96, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5156.0
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 500 by 96, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5156.05
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 480 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 96 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5156.052
Deduct 192 from 200 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
96 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5156.052
Subtract 0 from 80 to 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.

Moving on to step 11:
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: 5156.05208
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.

Step 12:
If we divide 320 by 96, we get 3 and a remainder of 32.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5156.052083
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 13:
320 divided by 96 is 3 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5156.0520833
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5156.0520833 with a balance of 3.2e-07.
