Let's divide 492971 by 49
We want to figure out the number of times 492971 can be divided by 49.

Advancing to step 1:
49 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 49

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 49 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 49 from 49 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 49

Step 3:
49 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 49

On to step 4:
If we divide 29 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 100.0
Deduct 0 from 29 and we're left with 29.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 297 / 49

Moving on to step 5:
The number 49 fits into 297 6 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1006.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 294 from 297.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 49

Moving on to step 6:
31 divided by 49 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10060.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
310 divided by 49 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10060.6
If we take 294 away from 310, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 160 by 49, we get 3 with a remainder of 13.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10060.63
Deduct 147 from 160 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 130 by 49, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10060.632
Subtracting 98 from 130 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
49 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10060.6326
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up with 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 11:
260 divided by 49 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10060.63265
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 245 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 150 by 49, we get 3 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10060.632653
If we subtract 147 from 150, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
49 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10060.632653
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
49 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10060.63265306
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The final result is 10060.63265306 with a remainder of 6e-09.
