We're dividing 481851 by 98 
We want to divide 481851 by 98.

On to step 1:
98 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 98

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 481 / 98

Moving on to step 3:
The number 98 fits into 481 4 times, leaving a remainder of 89.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 392 from 481 to get 89.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 89, then carry on: 898 / 98

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 898 by 98, we get 9 and a remainder of 16.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtracting 882 from 898 leaves us with 16.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 165 / 98

Moving on to step 5:
98 can be fit into 165 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 491.0
Deduct 98 from 165 and we're left with 67.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 67, then carry on: 671 / 98

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 98 fits into 671 6 times, leaving a remainder of 83.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4916.0
The remainder is 83 after subtracting 588 from 671.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 830 by 98, we get 8 with a remainder of 46.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4916.8
Subtracting 784 from 830 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 98 fits into 460 4 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4916.84
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.

Advancing to step 9:
98 goes into 680 6 times with a remainder of 92.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4916.846
Subtracting 588 from 680 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 920 by 98, we get 9 and a remainder of 38.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4916.8469
Subtracting 882 from 920 leaves us 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 11:
If we divide 380 by 98, we get 3 and a remainder of 86.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4916.84693
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 294 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 860 by 98, we get 8 and a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4916.846938
If we subtract 784 from 860, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 760 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4916.8469387
If we subtract 686 from 760, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 740 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 54.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4916.84693877
Subtract 686 from 740 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

The final result is 4916.84693877 with a remainder of 5.4e-08.
