We're dividing 281142 by 49 
We want to figure out the number of times 281142 can be divided by 49.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 49

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 281 / 49

Let's proceed to step 3:
49 goes into 281 5 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 245 from 281 and we're left with 36.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 361 / 49

Step 4:
The number 49 fits into 361 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we take 343 away from 361, we end up with 18.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 184 / 49

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 184 by 49, we get 3 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 573.0
Subtract 147 from 184 to get 37.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 372 / 49

On to step 6:
49 goes into 372 7 times with a remainder of 29.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5737.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 343 from 372.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 49 fits into 290 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5737.5
Deduct 245 from 290 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
49 can be fit into 450 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5737.59
Subtracting 441 from 450 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
49 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5737.591
Subtract 49 from 90 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
49 goes into 410 8 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5737.5918
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 392 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
49 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5737.59183
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 147 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 330 by 49, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5737.591836
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 294 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 49 fits into 360 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5737.5918367
Subtract 343 from 360 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 170 by 49, we get 3 and a remainder of 23.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5737.59183673
If we subtract 147 from 170, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5737.59183673, with a leftover of 2.3e-08.
