262972 ÷ 49 
We're looking to find how many times 49 goes into 262972.

On to step 1:
49 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 49

On to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 49, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 262 / 49

Let's proceed to step 3:
49 goes into 262 5 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 245 from 262 and we're left with 17.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 179 / 49

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 179 by 49, we get 3 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we take 147 away from 179, we end up with 32.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 327 / 49

Let's proceed to step 5:
49 can be fit into 327 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 536.0
Subtracting 294 from 327 leaves us with 33.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 332 / 49

Let's proceed to step 6:
332 divided by 49 is 6 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5366.0
If we take 294 away from 332, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
49 goes into 380 7 times with a remainder of 37.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5366.7
Deduct 343 from 380 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 370 by 49, we get 7 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5366.77
Deduct 343 from 370 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5366.77 with a remaining 0.027.
