We look at the division of 48771977 by 298 
Our goal is to divide 48771977 by 298.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 298 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 298

Step 2:
The number 298 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 487 / 298

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 487 by 298, we get 1 with a remainder of 189.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 298 away from 487, we end up with 189.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 189 and continue with: 1897 / 298

Step 4:
When dividing 1897 by 298, we get 6 with a remainder of 109.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 109 after subtracting 1788 from 1897.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 109, then carry on: 1091 / 298

Advancing to step 5:
The number 298 fits into 1091 3 times, leaving a remainder of 197.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 163.0
The remainder is 197 after subtracting 894 from 1091.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 197 and continue: 1979 / 298

On to step 6:
298 goes into 1979 6 times with a remainder of 191.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1636.0
Subtract 1788 from 1979 to get 191.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 191, then repeat: 1917 / 298

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 1917 by 298, we get 6 with a remainder of 129.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16366.0
If we take 1788 away from 1917, we end up with 129.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 129 and continue: 1297 / 298

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 1297 by 298, we get 4 with a remainder of 105.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 163664.0
If we subtract 1192 from 1297, we get 105.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1050, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
298 goes into 1050 3 times with a remainder of 156.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 163664.3
Deduct 894 from 1050 and we're left with 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Step 10:
298 goes into 1560 5 times with a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 163664.35
Deduct 1490 from 1560 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
298 can be fit into 700 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 104.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 163664.352
Subtracting 596 from 700 leaves us with 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 298 fits into 1040 3 times, leaving a remainder of 146.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 163664.3523
Deduct 894 from 1040 and we're left with 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
298 can be fit into 1460 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 268.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 163664.35234
If we subtract 1192 from 1460, we get 268.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
298 can be fit into 2680 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 296.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 163664.352348
Subtract 2384 from 2680 to get 296.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2960, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
2960 divided by 298 is 9 with a remainder of 278.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 163664.3523489
The remainder is 278 after subtracting 2682 from 2960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
When dividing 2780 by 298, we get 9 with a remainder of 98.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 163664.35234899
Subtracting 2682 from 2780 leaves us with 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

The final result is 163664.35234899 with a remainder of 9.8e-08.
