We divide 486312 by 98
Our goal is to divide 486312 by 98.

Step 1:
The number 98 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 98

Let's proceed to step 2:
98 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 486 / 98

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 486 by 98, we get 4 with a remainder of 94.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 392 from 486 to get 94.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 94 and continue: 943 / 98

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 98 fits into 943 9 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we take 882 away from 943, we end up with 61.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 611 / 98

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 611 by 98, we get 6 with a remainder of 23.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 496.0
Deduct 588 from 611 and we're left with 23.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 232 / 98

Going ahead to step 6:
98 can be fit into 232 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4962.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 196 from 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
98 can be fit into 360 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4962.3
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 294 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
660 divided by 98 is 6 with a remainder of 72.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4962.36
If we subtract 588 from 660, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
98 goes into 720 7 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4962.367
Deduct 686 from 720 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
98 goes into 340 3 times with a remainder of 46.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4962.3673
If we subtract 294 from 340, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 460 by 98, we get 4 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4962.36734
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 392 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
98 goes into 680 6 times with a remainder of 92.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4962.367346
If we take 588 away from 680, we end up with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
920 divided by 98 is 9 with a remainder of 38.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4962.3673469
If we take 882 away from 920, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 14:
98 goes into 380 3 times with a remainder of 86.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4962.36734693
If we take 294 away from 380, we end up with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4962.36734693 with a balance of 8.6e-08.
