We divide 49728971 by 281
We want to figure out the number of times 49728971 can be divided by 281.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 281, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 281

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 281, we get 0 and a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 497 / 281

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 497 by 281, we get 1 with a remainder of 216.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 281 from 497, we get 216.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 216 and repeat the process: 2162 / 281

Step 4:
281 can be fit into 2162 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 195.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 1967 from 2162 leaves us with 195.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 195 and continue with: 1958 / 281

On to step 5:
The number 281 fits into 1958 6 times, leaving a remainder of 272.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 176.0
Subtract 1686 from 1958 to get 272.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 272 and continue with: 2729 / 281

Step 6:
2729 divided by 281 is 9 with a remainder of 200.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1769.0
Subtract 2529 from 2729 to get 200.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 200, then carry on: 2007 / 281

Moving on to step 7:
281 goes into 2007 7 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17697.0
Subtracting 1967 from 2007 leaves us with 40.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 401 / 281

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 401 by 281, we get 1 and a remainder of 120.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 176971.0
The remainder is 120 after subtracting 281 from 401.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 1200 by 281, we get 4 with a remainder of 76.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 176971.4
Subtract 1124 from 1200 to 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 760 by 281, we get 2 and a remainder of 198.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 176971.42
Deduct 562 from 760 and we're left with 198.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1980, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
281 can be fit into 1980 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 176971.427
Subtracting 1967 from 1980 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 130 by 281, we get 0 and a remainder of 130.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 176971.427
Deduct 0 from 130 and we're left with 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 281 fits into 1300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 176.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 176971.42704
Subtract 1124 from 1300 to get 176.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 1760 by 281, we get 6 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 176971.427046
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 1686 from 1760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
281 can be fit into 740 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 178.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 176971.4270462
Deduct 562 from 740 and we're left with 178.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 281 fits into 1780 6 times, leaving a remainder of 94.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 176971.42704626
Deduct 1686 from 1780 and we're left with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 176971.42704626 with a balance of 9.4e-08.
