15954938 divided by 491 
We want to divide 15954938 by 491.

Step 1:
1 divided by 491 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 491

Moving on to step 2:
15 divided by 491 is 0 with a remainder of 15.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 159 / 491

Going ahead to step 3:
159 divided by 491 is 0 with a remainder of 159.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 159, we end up with 159.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 159, then repeat: 1595 / 491

Moving on to step 4:
491 can be fit into 1595 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 122.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 1473 from 1595 leaves us with 122.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 122, then carry on: 1224 / 491

Step 5:
491 can be fit into 1224 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 242.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtracting 982 from 1224 leaves us with 242.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 242 and repeat the process: 2429 / 491

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 2429 by 491, we get 4 and a remainder of 465.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 324.0
If we subtract 1964 from 2429, we get 465.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 465, then repeat: 4653 / 491

Going ahead to step 7:
491 can be fit into 4653 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 234.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3249.0
The remainder is 234 after subtracting 4419 from 4653.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 234 and continue with: 2348 / 491

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 2348 by 491, we get 4 and a remainder of 384.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 32494.0
Subtracting 1964 from 2348 leaves us with 384.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
491 goes into 3840 7 times with a remainder of 403.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 32494.7
If we subtract 3437 from 3840, we get 403.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4030, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
4030 divided by 491 is 8 with a remainder of 102.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 32494.78
If we subtract 3928 from 4030, we get 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
491 goes into 1020 2 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32494.782
If we take 982 away from 1020, 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.

Advancing to step 12:
491 can be fit into 380 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 380.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32494.782
Subtract 0 from 380 to get 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
491 can be fit into 3800 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 363.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32494.78207
If we subtract 3437 from 3800, we get 363.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3630, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 3630 by 491, we get 7 and a remainder of 193.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 32494.782077
The remainder is 193 after subtracting 3437 from 3630.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1930, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 32494.782077 with a balance of 1.93e-05.
