We're dividing 494629 by 97 
Our goal is to divide 494629 by 97.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 97 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 97

Advancing to step 2:
97 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 494 / 97

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 494 by 97, we get 5 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 485 from 494 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 96 / 97

Going ahead to step 4:
97 can be fit into 96 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtract 0 from 96 to get 96.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 96 and continue: 962 / 97

On to step 5:
97 can be fit into 962 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 89.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 509.0
If we take 873 away from 962, we end up with 89.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 89, then carry on: 899 / 97

Advancing to step 6:
The number 97 fits into 899 9 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5099.0
Subtract 873 from 899 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
97 goes into 260 2 times with a remainder of 66.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5099.2
If we take 194 away from 260, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
97 can be fit into 660 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5099.26
The remainder is 78 after subtracting 582 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Step 9:
97 goes into 780 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5099.268
Subtract 776 from 780 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 10:
97 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5099.268
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 97, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5099.26804
Subtracting 388 from 400 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 120 by 97, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5099.268041
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 97 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
230 divided by 97 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5099.2680412
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 194 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
97 goes into 360 3 times with a remainder of 69.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5099.26804123
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 291 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

The final result is 5099.26804123 with a remainder of 6.9e-08.
