Let's divide 498211 by 57
We want to figure out the number of times 498211 can be divided by 57.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 57, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 57

On to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 57, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 498 / 57

Moving on to step 3:
The number 57 fits into 498 8 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 456 from 498, we get 42.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 422 / 57

Moving on to step 4:
The number 57 fits into 422 7 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 87.0
Deduct 399 from 422 and we're left with 23.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 231 / 57

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 231 by 57, we get 4 with a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 874.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 228 from 231.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 57

Let's proceed to step 6:
57 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8740.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 310 by 57, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8740.5
Deduct 285 from 310 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 57 fits into 250 4 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8740.54
If we subtract 228 from 250, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
220 divided by 57 is 3 with a remainder of 49.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8740.543
Subtract 171 from 220 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
490 divided by 57 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8740.5438
Subtracting 456 from 490 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
340 divided by 57 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8740.54385
Subtracting 285 from 340 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 550 by 57, we get 9 and a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8740.543859
Deduct 513 from 550 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
370 divided by 57 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8740.5438596
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 342 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
280 divided by 57 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8740.54385964
Deduct 228 from 280 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8740.54385964, and the remainder is 5.2e-08.
