We're dividing 479983 by 98 
Our goal is to divide 479983 by 98.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 98

Moving on to step 2:
98 goes into 47 0 times with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 479 / 98

Advancing to step 3:
98 can be fit into 479 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 87.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 392 away from 479, we end up with 87.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 87, then repeat: 879 / 98

On to step 4:
The number 98 fits into 879 8 times, leaving a remainder of 95.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we subtract 784 from 879, we get 95.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 95, then repeat: 958 / 98

On to step 5:
If we divide 958 by 98, we get 9 and a remainder of 76.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 489.0
If we subtract 882 from 958, we get 76.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 76, then repeat: 763 / 98

Step 6:
763 divided by 98 is 7 with a remainder of 77.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4897.0
Deduct 686 from 763 and we're left with 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 770 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 84.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4897.7
Deduct 686 from 770 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
98 goes into 840 8 times with a remainder of 56.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4897.78
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 784 from 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
560 divided by 98 is 5 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4897.785
Subtract 490 from 560 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 700 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4897.7857
Deduct 686 from 700 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 140 by 98, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4897.78571
Subtracting 98 from 140 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 98 fits into 420 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4897.785714
If we take 392 away from 420, we end up with 28.
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 13:
The number 98 fits into 280 2 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4897.7857142
If we subtract 196 from 280, we 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 14:
If we divide 840 by 98, we get 8 and a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4897.78571428
If we take 784 away from 840, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4897.78571428, and the remainder is 5.6e-08.
