Let's divide 494949 by 99
We want to divide 494949 by 99.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 99, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 99

Advancing to step 2:
The number 99 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 494 / 99

Let's proceed to step 3:
99 goes into 494 4 times with a remainder of 98.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 396 from 494, we get 98.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 98, then repeat: 989 / 99

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 99 fits into 989 9 times, leaving a remainder of 98.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtracting 891 from 989 leaves us with 98.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 98 and continue with: 984 / 99

Going ahead to step 5:
984 divided by 99 is 9 with a remainder of 93.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 499.0
The remainder is 93 after subtracting 891 from 984.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 93, then repeat: 939 / 99

Advancing to step 6:
The number 99 fits into 939 9 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4999.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 891 from 939.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 7:
99 can be fit into 480 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4999.4
Subtract 396 from 480 to get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 840 by 99, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4999.48
If we take 792 away from 840, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 480 by 99, we get 4 and a remainder of 84.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4999.484
If we take 396 away from 480, we end up 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 10:
99 goes into 840 8 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4999.4848
Deduct 792 from 840 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 11:
The number 99 fits into 480 4 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4999.48484
Deduct 396 from 480 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 99 fits into 840 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4999.484848
Subtract 792 from 840 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 480 by 99, we get 4 with a remainder of 84.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4999.4848484
If we take 396 away from 480, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 99 fits into 840 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4999.48484848
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 792 from 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final result is 4999.48484848 with a remainder of 4.8e-08.
