We look at the division of 498978 by 99 
Our goal is to divide 498978 by 99.

Step 1:
The number 99 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 99

Step 2:
49 divided by 99 is 0 with a remainder of 49.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 498 / 99

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 498 by 99, we get 5 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 495 away from 498, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 99

On to step 4:
When dividing 39 by 99, we get 0 with a remainder of 39.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtract 0 from 39 to get 39.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 397 / 99

Let's proceed to step 5:
397 divided by 99 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 504.0
Deduct 396 from 397 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 99

Going ahead to step 6:
99 goes into 18 0 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5040.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 180 by 99, we get 1 with a remainder of 81.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5040.1
Subtract 99 from 180 to get 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 810 by 99, we get 8 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5040.18
Subtract 792 from 810 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
99 goes into 180 1 times with a remainder of 81.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5040.181
Subtracting 99 from 180 leaves us with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 810 by 99, we get 8 and a remainder of 18.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5040.1818
If we take 792 away from 810, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
99 goes into 180 1 times with a remainder of 81.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5040.18181
The remainder is 81 after subtracting 99 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
99 can be fit into 810 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5040.181818
If we subtract 792 from 810, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 180 by 99, we get 1 with a remainder of 81.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5040.1818181
If we subtract 99 from 180, we get 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
99 goes into 810 8 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5040.18181818
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 792 from 810.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5040.18181818, and the remainder is 1.8e-08.
