We're dividing 988846 by 49 
We want to figure out the number of times 988846 can be divided by 49.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 49 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 49

Step 2:
When dividing 98 by 49, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 98 from 98, we get 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 49

On to step 3:
If we divide 8 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 49

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 88 by 49, we get 1 and a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 201.0
Subtract 49 from 88 to get 39.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 394 / 49

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 394 by 49, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2018.0
Subtract 392 from 394 to get 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 49

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 26 by 49, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20180.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 49 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20180.5
Subtract 245 from 260 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
150 divided by 49 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20180.53
Subtracting 147 from 150 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
49 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20180.53
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 300 by 49, we get 6 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20180.5306
Subtract 294 from 300 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
49 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20180.53061
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 49 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 12:
49 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20180.530612
If we take 98 away from 110, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
120 divided by 49 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20180.5306122
If we subtract 98 from 120, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 20180.5306122 with a balance of 2.2e-07.
