We divide 48994731 by 989
We're looking to find how many times 989 goes into 48994731.

Let's proceed to step 1:
989 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 989

Step 2:
The number 989 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 489 / 989

On to step 3:
989 can be fit into 489 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 489.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 489, we get 489.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 489 and repeat the process: 4899 / 989

Advancing to step 4:
The number 989 fits into 4899 4 times, leaving a remainder of 943.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 943 after subtracting 3956 from 4899.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 943 and continue: 9434 / 989

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 9434 by 989, we get 9 and a remainder of 533.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
Deduct 8901 from 9434 and we're left with 533.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 533 and continue: 5337 / 989

Advancing to step 6:
The number 989 fits into 5337 5 times, leaving a remainder of 392.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 495.0
If we take 4945 away from 5337, we end up with 392.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 392, then carry on: 3923 / 989

Going ahead to step 7:
989 can be fit into 3923 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 956.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4953.0
Deduct 2967 from 3923 and we're left with 956.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 956 and continue: 9561 / 989

Advancing to step 8:
989 goes into 9561 9 times with a remainder of 660.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49539.0
Subtract 8901 from 9561 to get 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6600, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 989 fits into 6600 6 times, leaving a remainder of 666.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49539.6
If we subtract 5934 from 6600, we get 666.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
6660 divided by 989 is 6 with a remainder of 726.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49539.66
If we subtract 5934 from 6660, we get 726.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7260, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 49539.66 and a remainder of 0.726.
