We divide 49869521 by 279
We want to divide 49869521 by 279.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 279 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 279

On to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 279, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 498 / 279

Advancing to step 3:
498 divided by 279 is 1 with a remainder of 219.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 279 from 498 and we're left with 219.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 219, then repeat: 2196 / 279

Moving on to step 4:
2196 divided by 279 is 7 with a remainder of 243.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 1953 from 2196 and we're left with 243.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 243 and continue with: 2439 / 279

Advancing to step 5:
279 can be fit into 2439 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 207.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 178.0
The remainder is 207 after subtracting 2232 from 2439.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 207, then repeat: 2075 / 279

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 279 fits into 2075 7 times, leaving a remainder of 122.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1787.0
If we subtract 1953 from 2075, we get 122.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 122, then repeat: 1222 / 279

Let's proceed to step 7:
1222 divided by 279 is 4 with a remainder of 106.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17874.0
If we take 1116 away from 1222, we end up with 106.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 106 and continue: 1061 / 279

Step 8:
When dividing 1061 by 279, we get 3 with a remainder of 224.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 178743.0
Deduct 837 from 1061 and we're left with 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 2240 by 279, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 178743.8
If we subtract 2232 from 2240, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 279 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 178743.8
If we subtract 0 from 80, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
279 goes into 800 2 times with a remainder of 242.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 178743.802
The remainder is 242 after subtracting 558 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
279 can be fit into 2420 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 188.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 178743.8028
Subtract 2232 from 2420 to get 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 1880 by 279, we get 6 with a remainder of 206.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178743.80286
Subtract 1674 from 1880 to get 206.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2060, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 2060 by 279, we get 7 with a remainder of 107.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178743.802867
The remainder is 107 after subtracting 1953 from 2060.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1070, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
279 goes into 1070 3 times with a remainder of 233.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178743.8028673
Deduct 837 from 1070 and we're left with 233.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
When dividing 2330 by 279, we get 8 with a remainder of 98.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178743.80286738
Deduct 2232 from 2330 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 178743.80286738 and a remainder of 9.8e-08.
