988766 divided by 49 
Our goal is to divide 988766 by 49.

Advancing to step 1:
49 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 49

On to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 49, we get 2 and 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.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 49

Advancing to step 3:
49 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 49

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 87 by 49, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 201.0
If we subtract 49 from 87, we get 38.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 386 / 49

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 386 by 49, we get 7 and a remainder of 43.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2017.0
Deduct 343 from 386 and we're left with 43.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 436 / 49

On to step 6:
436 divided by 49 is 8 with a remainder of 44.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20178.0
If we take 392 away from 436, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 440 by 49, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20178.8
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 392 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
49 can be fit into 480 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20178.89
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 441 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 9:
49 can be fit into 390 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20178.897
Subtract 343 from 390 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 10:
470 divided by 49 is 9 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20178.8979
If we subtract 441 from 470, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
49 can be fit into 290 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20178.89795
Subtracting 245 from 290 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 450 by 49, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20178.897959
If we take 441 away from 450, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 90 by 49, we get 1 and a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20178.8979591
If we subtract 49 from 90, we 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 14:
When dividing 410 by 49, we get 8 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20178.89795918
Deduct 392 from 410 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 20178.89795918 with a balance of 1.8e-08.
